Surrender


Surrender means Let Go.

Sur RENDER what does not belong to you anyway.

Release unto Your Heavenly Father the gift of Trusting Him to be in charge, because its not yours ...remember?

When His strong winds blow, its a good sign that death is about to give way, to life.

An entire surrender of spirit, soul and body to His control in a life of inevitable obedience may look hard to a soul ignorant of God. To those who know Him, it is the happiest and most restful of lives. Could we but for one moment get a glimpse into the mighty depths of His love, our hearts would spring out to His will and embrace it as our richest treasure.~Hannah Whitall Smith


God is not looking for ways to make you "squirm." He does, however, want to be Lord of your life. Whenever you identify a place where you refuse to allow His lordship, that is a place He will go to work. He is interested in absolute surrender. God may or may not require you to do that very thing you identified, but He will keep working until you are willing for Him to be Lord of all.~Henry Blackaby
