A good kind of "giving up".

Colossians 1:19 "For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him,"

The past month I've been meditating about "fullness of life" from God & what it means to me. 

perhaps in seeking "fullness of life" i was striving in my own strength to attain my dreams.

perhaps i've been trying to fit an unfathomably big God into my plans. (what is success anyway...?)

& perhaps in the craziness of it all, i've placed my dreams before God & made it into an idol of my life.

Colossians 1:18 "And He is the head of the body, the church; 

He is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, 

so that in everything He might have the supremacy."

supremacy...?

total abandonment to God?

dying to self...

I think fullness comes only when God has supremacy in my life;

that maybe, just maybe, (as cheesy as this acronym may sound)

"LIFE" just means placing "Lord" before "I", & "Faith" before "Emotion". 

& i think it's time to give up.

A good kind of giving up.

of "my dreams" to God.

& then swaddle in His presence.
