True Surrender, What It Looks Like & What It Feels Like

When we speak of surrendering to Jesus Christ, what we mean is the voluntarily release your will to His. It means giving up your own rights, decisions, and goals and adopting the rights, decisions, and goals of Jesus. Jesus says that those who surrender to Him will find rest. Remember that Jesus is the Prince of Peace and His rest is rest indeed. The only thing to hold one back from surrender is if you don't trust Him. You may feel that you have to hedge your opportunities so that you don't have all of your eggs in the Jesus basket. This sounds too much like our contemporary churches. Church people often times like to do work where they are honored before men not realizing that they are not honored before God. Jesus says take my yoke because He intends to do most of the work. By His work and guiding, He can teach us His ways so that we may do likewise. When you come unto Jesus, you become a part of His kingdom, leaving the kingdom of this world behind.

Daily Prayer: Lord Jesus, we say with our lips that we trust You. Our lives are so saturated with sin that it becomes hard to to what is best for our self. We know our sins are forgiven, but help us to remove the mask that we wear and quit fooling ourselves. Apart from You, we can do nothing. Lift us up and draw us to You. In Jesus name I pray Amen.
