if i am not mistaken i think we all know how to play poker. we get cards, we bet on our "hand", some people bluff, then we lay down the cards and see who won. we play against the odds. we think we hold all the cards.
i think people in life, myself included, believe that sometimes they hold the cards. that they have the best hand for themselves. we put everything else on the line. even when we don't have anything to offer ourselves.
why do we take this risk?
God wants us to surrender ourselves to Him. total submission for His plan for us. He took the risk...for us. Paul writes, "While we were still sinners, Christ died for us..." we have no need to gamble ourselves, looking for answers in other things or people. we aren't holding the cards. we do not have control. give God everything and He will give you life, and to the fullest extent.
its so good to know we don't have to earn our way to Him. He comes to us with open arms.
He is just waiting for you to run to him.
so run.
I think of and pray for you often.
