Christians. Sisters. Best Friends.
There is a great quote from Christian author, Jennie Allen that says, “Great people do not do great things; God does great things through surrendered people.” If we want to walk in the path God has for us, it takes surrender! We as Christians need to die to self. Which means that we are not the important ones, our plans are not what matters. We know that’s hard to hear sometimes. Also, if we are not feeling pulled to compassion for others, then we should give our salvation a hard check!
James 4:7-8 ESV
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”
Philippians 4:6-7 ESV
“do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Matthew 11:28-30 ESV
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.””
