Surrender brings Freedom!

Onesimus was led by the Lord to surrender himself back to his 'master' Philemon. Not an easy thing to do when he had stolen from him and ran away. All through scripture the Lord leads people back to their place of fear. Abraham with Isaac the son of promise. Jacob with Esau. Me with speaking to groups of people ( I came very close to passing out as a junior in high school while making a speech ). But the Lord changes everything. He really does change us. Surrender to Him brings real freedom. When He challenges your faith this week with such trials as forgiving a wrong, holding your tongue, loving the unlovable, prayerfully surrender and watch the master reward you with His love and peace.
