I hear Christian's say all the time "God will bless you for that." These are the same people who believe in salvation apart from works. God blesses all people. Jesus said "My Father gives rain to the just and the unjust alike." When it comes to the subject of surrender to God, it is very costly. One will not necessarily count their blessings the moment they have died to theirself. So why then do we surrender our will to His? We do it for the sake of Jesus and for the sake of the gospel. Salvation is a free gift from God, but discipleship is costly, but one cannot be a disciple apart from surrender.
Daily Prayer: Lord, we understand with our mind that to die to ourself is to live for You. To die is a very hard thing to do. By Your Spirit, please convice and convict us to go this way, not so our life will be easier, but for Your sake and the sake of the Gospel. In Jesus name we pray Amen.
