All My Eggs in One Basket: Choosing Complete Surrender

Proverbs 3:5–6 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Good afternoon, my sisters ♥ Today was a beautiful day of deep cleaning my home, windows open, the vacuum humming and fresh air flowing in. One of the tasks that was on my to - do list was to clean some of our yard eggs for the icebox. It rained for a few days last week, and when we went to collect our eggs… well, of course, they were yucky and muddy! 🥚💦 Today, I decided to clean all the eggs and bring them into the house. After carefully washing off all the mud and letting them dry, I began placing them gently into a little basket, arranging them so they would fit perfectly in the icebox, all cute and neat. 🥚✨ ♥I took a picture to share with yall ♥

It was in that moment, seeing all the eggs together in one basket… LOL I was reminded of what complete surrender really looks like. God gently brought to mind a moment from the beginning of this year, a season when He asked me to fully trust Him and give Him everything I had. No holding back, no “just in case” plans. Now, I feel it’s only fair to be honest: when the Lord challenged me with this, in my heart I thought I was already living in full surrender to Him. But I wasn’t. There were areas of my personal life, prayers I had been praying, battles I had been fighting, where I had not truly surrendered to God.

It was in that moment I realized what full surrender really looks like: hands lifted high, completely unable to hold on to my own desires, my dreams, my assumptions of how things should come to pass. It’s a letting go so deep that only God holds the outcome, and I simply trust Him.

Today, seeing those eggs, all clean and placed carefully in one basket, felt like a small, everyday picture of that surrender. Just like I trusted the basket to hold all the eggs safely, I was reminded that trusting God completely, holding nothing back, what true faith looks like. And here’s the amazing thing: the moment I really let go and stepped back, God started moving. Things that had felt stuck or messy began to shift into place. Opportunities I hadn’t expected opened up, relationships began to heal, and clarity came in ways I could never have planned on my own. The more I stopped trying to control everything and just surrendered fully, the more I saw that God can take even the messy, imperfect parts of our lives and turn them into something beautiful.

It reminded me of Psalm 37:5 (KJV): Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

When I truly committed everything to God, my plans, my expectations, even the things I thought I could “handle” myself, I saw this promise come alive. God brought things into place in His timing, not mine, and it was perfect. Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV)For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. This is a beautiful reminder that God’s plans for us are good, and surrendering allows Him to guide us toward the future He has prepared.

I want to encourage you this evening: take a moment to ask God to search your heart. Ask Him to show you any areas, situations, desires, or relationships, that you are still holding onto instead of fully surrendering to Him. God is good, merciful, and gracious, and He will gently reveal what hasn’t been surrendered yet. He will also guide and strengthen you as you commit to giving Him everything in full surrender.

Father in the sweet name of Jesus, we come before You with open hands and a willing heart. Search our heart, reveal the areas we are still holding onto, and help us to fully surrender everything to You. Teach us to trust You completely, to let go of control, and to rest in Your perfect plan. Thank You for Your mercy, Your guidance, and Your unfailing love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
