A question that stirs thoughts of battle or losing in the minds of many. We are taught to live life to its fullest, to be dependent on ourselves, to conquer, to win, to overcome. If we are able to visualize or paint an image of the result we wish we can succeed. God's plan is quite the opposite. Learning how to surrender to God truly 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 enjoyment of surrendering your life to God is something that you must experience yourself. No one can rationalize it. You should experience what it suggests to surrender to God for yourself.
Surrender must come as a genuine response from your heart. Think of the problems you are currently wrestling with and then imagine I say to you, "Just surrender them to God and give Him control." My wife of TWENTY-SEVEN years died when she was only 51 years old , and initially I was not ready to hear those words: "Just surrender everything to God and give Him control." Those words would have seemed cruel at that point in my life. But as God graciously reminded me over the course of time surrender is what He would like from us. His wish for my life is that I surrender to Him, giving Him absolute control. (With time, it also became just what I needed to do.)
Think about how you are carrying the burdens of hurt, agony and emptiness in your life. God doesn't want you to live with those burdens. He wants you to give Him every hurt, each pain, and every circumstance you're going through. There's nothing in this world more important or more exciting than surrendering everything to God. Your surrendering to Him will lead directly to healing, transformation, and an abundant life, larger than you ever imagined achievable.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all of your methods submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
