surrender...

As I continue to read "The Me I Want To Be"...

I find myself challenged to surrender. The writer says, "There is no way for a human being to come to God that does not involve surrender." Surrender doesn't mean to be passive... it doesn't mean you just accept circumstances... it doesn't mean you stop thinking, asking questions, using your mind. Surrender is not just an easy way for weak people. What surrender is... is an exciting acknowledgment that there is a God and I'm not him. He has bigger purpose and he is wiser.

"Jesus does not come to rearrange the outside of our life the way we want. He comes to rearrange the inside of our life the way God wants."

"Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it." Matthew 10:39

I need to surrender... I need to yield... I need to obey... I need to do what he says... I need to go where he leads!
