Open hands

Wow....it's been awhile since I posted. Anyways I had a thought I wanted to share with you all :)
I've come to realize that when you give your life to God, you have to continually do so. It's not just a one time thing. I realize that this might be kind of confusing so I am going to attempt to explain it better by using an analogy(an area of Jason's expertise :) ).
When you hold out your hands to give God your life, you must keep them open. As humans we want control and so we will hold out our open hands to give our lives but through wanting control we begin to close our hands and pull back.
I've noticed this a lot with my own life. I thought that when you gave God your life, that was it. You gave it to Him and were allowing Him to have control. But than I look at my life and realize that I have started to pull back. It is a constant decision. One you make everyday that you are alive. 
What decision have you made today?
