By giving everything to God we have freedom

To experience that freedom that we so desire, we must decide to give God even that which we think we could never give up.

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time;

1 Peter 5:6

God is too interested in blessing each of the aspects of our lives, God takes into account every detail. If our desire is for Him to work in each of those areas, whether in finances, in relationships, in different habits or anything else, we simply have to ask Him, prepare our heart and give Him what God asks of us.
Sometimes we appear very strong and too independent, but the reality is that if we have many attachments that in some way are a bit of a stumbling block between us and the Lord, but let us always remember that God knows us completely, He knows our heart perfectly, we must ask Him to help us give up even those that in some way we do not want to let go.
When we hold on too tightly to something, it is difficult to open our hearts completely to God. We are divided or overconfident that with our strength and our ability we can do much more. God wants us to be willing to do His will. Everything that God does and gives us is always for our good, to bless us. Today we can have a multitude of things that God has given us, but if any of these things make our life difficult, we cannot move forward. But it is very different when we open our hands without reservation, without holding on. When we allow the Holy Spirit to work in us, we begin to experience true freedom.
Now we can ask ourselves the following question: What is it that I do not dare to give up? Let us think about what is it that keeps us captive.

I speak as a human being, because of your human weakness; for just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and iniquity for iniquity, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness for holiness.
20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 But what fruit did you have from those things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. 22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to holiness, and the end is eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 6:19-23

Let us surrender everything, whether it is a relationship, a position or a thought that does not allow us to give ourselves totally to God and ask Him to give us that freedom that He so longs for us to enjoy. Do you dare to surrender that to God?
