Surrendering all to God doesn\u2019t mean giving up the external things of our lives; it means surrendering our will to him. When this is done, all<\/em> is done. There are very few crises in life; the great crisis is the surrender of the will. God never crushes a will to the point of surrender; he never begs or pleads. He simply waits until we freely yield our will to him. This battle, once waged, never needs to be refought.<\/p>\n

Surrender for deliverance.<\/b> \u201cCome to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest\u201d (Matthew 11:28). Only after we have begun to experience what salvation means do we surrender our wills to Jesus and allow him to give us rest. Perplexity in heart or mind is a call to our will to come to Jesus. Our coming is voluntary, never forced.<\/p>\n

Surrender for devotion.<\/b> \u201cWhoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves\u201d (Matthew 16:24). The surrender here is of my self<\/em> to Jesus, my self<\/em> resting with him. He\u2019s saying, \u201cGive up your right to yourself to me.\u201d If I do, the rest of my life will be nothing but the manifestation of this surrender. I\u2019ll never need to wonder about my purpose again, nor will I care about my circumstances. I\u2019ll know that Jesus is sufficient for all.<\/p>\n

Surrender for death.<\/b> \u201cWhen you are old . . . someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go\u201d (John 21:18). Have you learned what it means to be bound for death? Beware of a surrender you make to God in a moment of ecstasy; you are likely to take it back again. Surrender is a question of being united with Jesus in his death, so that nothing appeals to you that didn\u2019t appeal to him. The entirety of life after surrender is a longing and a striving for unbroken communion with God.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
