Yet if you devote your heart to him and stretch out your hands to him, if you put away the sin that is in your hand and allow no evil to dwell in your tent, then, free of fault, you will lift up your face; you will stand firm and without fear. You will surely forget your trouble, recalling it only as waters gone by. Life will be brighter than noonday, and darkness will become like morning. You will be secure, because there is hope; you will look about you and take your rest in safety. You will lie down, with no one to make you afraid, and many will court your favor.

(Job 11:16-19 NIV)

Many times it’s hard for us to completely let go of false securities that we mistaken as ways to deal with hurt and pain. God transforms each of us into his likeness in different ways and stages through a lifetime. Our responsibility is to submit and trust the Holy Spirit to heal us as we continue our walk with God. This can be very difficult at times because we have become so accustom to a particular way or thought process. However once we surrender onto God its like “waters gone by.” There is security and peace in turning our deepest fears, hurts, and pains over to Christ trusting that he will heal and deliver bringing us to rest in his arms. 

Devote your heart to God and watch how he will transform you into his likeness and free you from the pass so that God can you use you for his glory.
