Even our Blessings…if not stewarded correctly…will become Burdens
Suddenly my job becomes my identity..my stuff becomes my focus…
Every time we see Mary in the NT, she is in a posture of surrender....
Mary shows us that surrender looks like...
At the feet of Jesus, Mary shows us that surrender looks like...

Life of Love—love freely, w/out fear of losing ‘me’..give…simple obedience
John 11:
3. Giving my best
So much happening around this moment but She’s the only one who is getting it
Those obsessed with strength and control will never understand the Kingdom power of weakness

Apply: Surrender
Your right to hold a grudge until ‘they’ say ‘I’m Sorry”
Your entitlement to your dream....
Your relationship…even if you’re scared that you’ll never find someone else
Your right to be right...
Your ‘me time’…your time to relax…your workouts....
But it hurts too much:
the pain of accepting God’s process is nothing compared to the pain of avoiding it
