How To Surrender To God

A question that stirs thoughts of battle or losing in the minds of many. We are taught to live life to its fullest, to be reliant on ourselves, to beat, to win, to conquer. If we can visualise or paint a picture of the outcome we need we will be able to succeed. God’s plan is quite the reverse. Learning how to surrender to God really leads to a life of freedom.

It is the Holy Spirit that brings us to the cross and causes us to face the unvarnished reality of our desire to die to the world and sin. We will never live a life that is beyond our hopes till we have died to ourselves. Look at what a Dear Friend recounted referring to surrendering to God, “For me, this has been the best key to walking in joy, peace, and liberty is permitting Him to rid me of self (a whole life process)”

The excitement of surrendering your life to God is something you must experience yourself. Nobody can explain it. You must experience what it implies to surrender to God for yourself.

Surrender must come as a genuine response from your heart. Think of the problems you are currently wrestling with and then imagine I say to you, “Just surrender them to God and give Him control.” My wife of TWENTY-SEVEN years died when she was only 51 years old , and initially I was not ready to hear those words: “Just surrender everything to God and give Him control.” Those words would have seemed cruel at that point in my life. But as God graciously reminded me over the course of time surrender is what He would like from us. His wish for my life is that I surrender to Him, giving Him absolute control. (With time, it also became just what I needed to do.)

Think how you are bearing the burdens of hurt, discomfort and emptiness in your life. God does not want you to live with those burdens. He would like for you to give Him each hurt, every agony, and every scenario you are going thru. There isn't anything in this world more vital or even more exciting than surrendering everything to God. Your surrendering to Him will lead to healing, alteration, and an abounding life, greater than you ever imagined practicable.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all of your methods submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
