Give IN or Give UP?

When you think of giving in, do you think of it as the same as giving up?

I never gave this much thought until yesterday. After I had the dream about not being able to see, I had to convince myself that giving in to certain things is not the same as giving up certain thing. To be more specific in my own situation, I AM giving in to God; surrendering ALL of my plans and desires unto Him. I AM moving into a state of ALLOWING myself to just BE with Him and to things according to His plans, not mine. I realized that trying to do things in my own way were causing me to be in a state of self-doubt, which is clearly not how God operates.

So, I give up the notion of having to make anything happen. Allowing God to have control means that I don't have to struggle with making anything happen. I give up total control. I'm not saying that I'm going to just sit around and be lazy or just walk away from what I desire, because I am entitled to those desires and He said that if I delight myself in Him, then I can have the desires of my heart (Psalm 37:4). But, I AM going to rest in the revelation of I AM and therefore the wisdom of God will instruct me on when, where, who and with whom to connect.

So, although I give in to God, I'll never give up on Him. I throw up my hands and wave my white flag. I surrender my ways, thoughts and will to Him.

I enter into the state of ALLOWING and BEING. I Let Go and I Let God.
