Surrender

Surrendering is a word that is mostly misunderstood in the bible by believers and unbelievers alike. To surrender means to give up, to yield, to say to yourself I lose and he/she wins. But surrendering to God is a completely different story. Surrendering to God means giving everything to Him, yielding all your belongings, work, school, friends, family and anything else. But why do we do this? So then God works and we don't worry. Everything is in His hands. When we can't fix a certain situation the best way to deal with it is to surrender it completely to God and let Him take care of it. Or when a relationship is torn apart, give the relationship to God and let Him handle it. Surrendering to God is not easy, but when it happens we experience a peace and joy that we could never have known felt. We feel so much more secure because we are giving everything to a God who loves us and wants a deep personal relationship with each of us. Give it all to God, He loves you more than you can imagine. "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-His good, pleasing and perfect will." Romans 12:2 Amen.
