It is based on how tightly Jesus holds onto you.Heir of salvation: You belong to God’s family now. You have been given an inheritance.Purchase of God: Jesus paid for you with His life.Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood: You are forgiven and made newYOUR STORY SHOULD TURN INTO WORSHIPLyric: This is my story, this is my songPsalms 107:2What matters to you comes out of you.SURRENDER LEADS TO JOY, NOT LOSSLyric: Perfect submission, perfect delightGalatians 2:20Matthew 16:25Perfect submission leads to perfect delight.Joy is not found in controlling your life. Joy is found in trusting Jesus with your life.Visions of rapture now burst on my sight: When you follow Jesus, your perspective changes.Echoes of mercy, whispers of love: You begin noticing God’s grace everywhere.Perfect submission, all is at rest.

It becomes natural.
