Its not something you decide once when you become a Christian. It's something you must decide every.single.day.
For people like me, surrendering is not easy. It involves saying scary things like...
I can't do everything on my own, I need your help God
I'm prideful and want to take glory for myself; yet I choose to glorify You Lord. With my whole life.
God, I trust You; I sincerely trust You
May I be a living sacrifice to You, O Lord
I'm not perfect
I will follow you Lord, wherever you might take me
Obedience will be my love language to you God
Surrender is your choice. Surrender and let God use you for the work of his kingdom!
Be part of something bigger than yourself, your image, your stuff.
when i think of the word surrender... i think of "undone"
ReplyDeleteit's terrifying but at the same time so beautiful.
so much newness comes from being surrendered! letting go of the old and allowing the new to come in to play :)
That's a cool way of thinking about it -- "undone" I'll have to remember that :)
DeleteAMEN TO THIS POST!!!! Too much we try to be in complete control and forget that God is the true conductor.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer:) It's so true.
