Our relationship with God was never meant to be an addition… something we add on to our lives (like a hobby, or a new relationship)… but an exchange. And exchange means we surrender and give it all away.
Surrender means to yield to the possession or power of another. To give oneself up. Surrender is NOT living a perfect life, it’s maintaining an attitude of the heart where we continually allow God to lead, instruct, and mold our lives as He desires. Something happens the moment we finally respond sincerely to God’s call for complete surrender of our lives.
But we must go deeper… I have found that even when I know what I need to do and actually want to do it… I sometimes fall. Why is that? It’s called the original deception. It’s the first trick the enemy played on Eve back in the garden of Eden and he is still using it on us today. Overcoming this deception of the enemy is the key to surrender and fully experiencing God.
