Surrrender.
It goes against human nature to concede. To give in. To yield completely to another. Even when that "another" is God. Because God doesn't fail, the idea of surrender should be a no brainer. The opposite is what we tend to live out. Because it's God, we pull out all the thoughts, ideas, rebuttals, refusals and hold back.
I saw this video and the message resonates with me each time I watch it. Take a look.
**sigh**
There are so many layers to surrendering. Let me share a few more thoughts:
- Surrendering is H-A-R-D!!!!
- To surrender is a choice.
- Even making no choice is actually a choice all on its own.
- It's our responsibility. God doesn't coerce or force us to surrender.
- We have to be all in because there's no room for partial surrender.
- Jesus didn't die in pieces. His death was complete. Surrender cannot happen in pieces; it must be complete.
