You know that verse that promises God will do exceedingly more than we can ask or imagine? That sums up the history of Wholly Loved Ministries. Honestly, four years ago, when God asked me to launch this ministry, if I had any idea all He had planned, I probably would’ve been too freaked out to […]
With Thanksgiving less than a week away and many feeling less than thankful, I thought perhaps you would find this reading plan helpful and encouraging. Read it HERE.

Jen;
This article took two reads! I HAD to read it through twice because of the meaty texture.
What a great, comprehensive understanding of the difference in surrender and commitment.
I’ve been a commited Christian – A surrendered Christian – yikes/yeowser/YOUCH – it hurts to realize I’m such a control freak that I do not just surrender and have peace of heart and/or mind.
Thank you so much for sharing this – it’s something EVERY one who considers themself a Christian SHOULD read.
Thanks, Joy. I’ll tell my brother you enjoyed it. This is a great publication. I’ve read other articles from them before and am always challenged by them.
Excellent article! thank you for sharing
I am glad you enjoyed it, Edwina! And I’ll let my brother know, as well. 🙂
WOW!!! A very needed ‘whack’ on my own hard-head! That was very powerful, thought-provoking, convicting….this has shaped my prayers this evening and will in the days ahead. Made me realize again how subtle that ‘I’ is in me…and how encouraging it is to remember that victory is sure in Christ! Thanks for sharing….and for allowing Him to use you in our lives……sandyT
Thank you so much for sharing this article – how timely!! I believe the Lord is calling us to a deeper walk with Him. He is saying, “Choose this day whom you will serve.” I believe He is opening the eyes of His children to know and understand the cost of discipleship to prepare us for the days ahead.
Great article!
Thanks, Sandy! And thank you, Nan. I agree! It seems like that is something He must remind me of continually! I will draw close to Him for a while, then get distracted, but luckily He always draws me lovingly back.
