A question that stirs thoughts of battle or losing in the minds of many. We are taught to live life to its fullest, to depend on ourselves, to master, to win, to triumph over. If we are able to visualize or paint an image of the end result we desire we will succeed. God's plan is quite the opposite. Learning how to surrender to God actually leads to a life of liberty.
It's the Holy Spirit that brings us to the cross and causes us to face the grim reality of our need to die to the world and sin. We can never live a life that's beyond our hopes until we have died to ourselves. Look at what a dear friend declared regarding surrendering to God, "For me, this has been the greatest key to walking in joy, peace, and freedom is allowing Him to rid me of self (a lifetime process)"
The excitement of surrendering your life to God is something you must experience yourself. Nobody can explain it. You must experience what it implies to surrender to God for yourself.
Surrender must come as a genuine response from your heart. Think of the issues you are at present wrestling with and then imagine I say to you, "Just surrender them to God and give Him control." My better half of TWENTY-SEVEN years died when she was only 51 years in age , and initially I was not ready to hear those words: "Just surrender everything to God and give Him control." Those words would have appeared cruel at that point in my life. Nevertheless as God graciously reminded me over time , surrender is what He would like from us. His want for my life is that I surrender to Him, giving Him total control. (With time, it also became just what I would have liked to do.)
Consider how you are carrying the burdens of hurt, pain and emptiness in your life. God doesn't want you to live with those burdens. He would like you to give Him every hurt, each discomfort, and every situation you're going through. There is nothing in this world more crucial or more exciting than surrendering everything to God. Your surrendering to Him will lead on to healing, evolution, and an abundant life, bigger than you ever imagined possible.
Trust in the LORD with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he's going to make your paths straight.
