Do you ever feel like you give it your all and come up empty? Is it because you did it all in YOUR strength? Nothing is more powerful than a life committed to Christ, but here's the age old question...How do I die to myself??? Is God REALLY out there? Does He REALLY listen when I call? Does He know I'm alive???! Or is this thing called "life" a cruel experiment?
This I do know. When I don't surrender to Christ I surrender to the opinions and expectations of others, to money, to ego, pride and the worst of all...FEAR.
E. Stanley Jones said, "When I don't surrender to God, I surrender to chaos." Jones...I couldn't agree with you more. Surrender is not easy, but for me, nothing else works. I've tried it all. I'd rather give it up to God, then follow the lusts of my soul. The outcome is ALWAYS less painful. Nothing under His control can ever be out of control.
