Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.
John 7:38

Your word is a lamp for my feet,
a light on my path.
Psalm 119:105

The unfolding of your words gives light;
it gives understanding to the simple.
Psalm 119:130

pppp

For each & every believer, the Word of God is the light.
And reading the Word of God, shows obedience & reverence.
But to really understand the Word of God,
first offer your soul to Him.
God has given everyone a free will, so He will not make anyone do anything by force.
That is the just nature of God. God does not control people rather He wishes His people choose Him from their own will.

So when people choose to offer their soul in the service of God, its not that they are loosing their freedom, rather they are allowing God to guide them in His divine light & love.
And the soul which has chosen God, is filled with His divine light,

further enabling a person/people to fully understand what He truly means by His Word.
The Holy Bible appears to written in simple language, which is easy to understand, but these simple words have  a deeper meaning,
but if people ask God to enable them to fully understand His Word,
then He will make things easy to understand.
There is a verse -
"In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight" (Proverbs 3:6)

The Word of God appears simple at first but has a depth which the human mind cannot comprehend, because those simple words hold depth even deeper than the seas.

People would generally think that submitting to God,   means being obedient, yes it does mean being obedient,
But it means more than that.
It actually means choosing God with complete faith & trust.
And allowing God to lead them, knowing that when God holds their hands & takes them,
It leads to peace, joy & blessings.

And when God sees a willing heart, a heart which loves the Word of God,
He further makes His Word simpler, thus enabling His people to form a close & divine bond with Him,
& further filling their hearts & souls with His light.

Submitting to God is not giving up your free will, rather surrendering to the divine will of God,
& when people do that,
God's protection begins to surround them in all ways,
Its like having a loving Heavenly Father consistently guide His people.
Its the most wonderful feeling that people can have.

To have the Heavenly Realm surround them with a love which cannot be replicated.
This love is not earthly, or like shadows which fade away.
This love from Heaven which will surround the surrendered souls is endless,
Divine , pure, trustworthy, will not hurt, nothing manipulative or selfish,
Just compassionate, kind, full of mercy, completely understanding & so radiant, just completely illuminating the soul, & with depth.

These words appear to be just so simple, but have a a depth which transcends human understanding.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
1 Corinthians 13:4-5

People think that surrendering to God is relinquishing your freedom,
But actually, surrendering to God is total freedom, freedom from earthly pain, freedom from any kind of manipulation.
And God's love is not just for the perfect people,
Its for everyone.
Some human beings think they are perfect so consider themselves to be special,
But this shows the flaw in their earthly character.
Because those who consider themselves to be perfect & so special are actually imperfect themselves.

Whereas God who is truly magnificent & perfect,
Loves each & everyone, just the way they are,
That is why God's love is freedom. Freedom to be yourself, with no limitations.
God's love is like home.
While people think that surrendering their souls is losing their freedom, whereas
Actually surrendering to the true love God is actually a blessing.
A blessing that is priceless.

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
for to you I entrust my life.
Psalm 143:8

We love because He first loved us.
1 John 4:19
My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.
John 15:12
May the Lord direct your hearts into God's love and Christ's perseverance.
2 Thessalonians 3:5
