“because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, because thou hast obeyed my voice.” Gen 22:16-18
IF man could grasp the fullness of God’s goodness. Learning that when, at God’s voice, they surrender to Him the one thing above all else that was dearest to their hearts, that same thing is returned to them by Him a thousand-times over. Abraham gives up his one and only son, at God’s call, but Isaac is restored, and Abraham’s family is greatly blessed. This is how God meets every one of us, when we surrender our will to His, God restores, replenishes, and rewards with His blessings greater things that we could garner on our own. Think not that Abraham was unique and solitary, he was the example of surrender we’re all called to.
Intimacy with God isn’t the result of trying harder, but of surrendering more… HSAY
