When one thinks of surrender, we imagine giving up those things that we most cherish. This is not really so. When one surrenders, the first thing we give up is false pretenses. We begin to see ourselves the way Jesus does and what horrifies us the most is not our most outragous sin, but the prideful nature by which we present ourself to the Son of God. We really don't think were that bad. When we understand that apart from Jesus that we can do nothing, it is much easier to depend on Him for everything including exchanging our pride for His rightesouness.
So let us surrender today so that we can give up what little we really do have and inherit what the King of King has.
Daily Prayer: Lord, often times we really don't get it. Even though we have been told the truth, Satan comes along and builds up our depleted human nature convincing us that we are pretty good. Forgive us. Now, lead us by Your Spirit so that we may led into all truth. In Jesus name we pray Amen.
