Don’t miss anything that is happening!

True surrender is the difference between clinging to control of your life and trusting the One who gave His life for you. It’s the difference between turning from sin because you’re afraid of consequences, and turning from it because you see what it cost Christ and…the ruin it will ultimately bring to you.

Forced surrender is driven by guilt and pressure; grateful surrender is motivated by the experience of God’s presence.

And when we truly understand what Jesus has done for us, surrender stops feeling like something God is taking from us—and starts feeling like the only right response we should ever give. When we are born again, our souls and spirits are made alive in Christ. We belong to God’s Kingdom and are brought under His rule, which sounds costly until we realize what an actual privilege it is. Paul entreated early believers:

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.” Romans 12:1
Gratitude toward God changes our attitude of surrender!

Grudging sacrifice feels like loss; grateful sacrifice feels like privilege. Our obedience to God is not meant to come from negative pressure, but from love. Jesus made it clear, “If you love Me, keep My commandments” (John 14:15), demonstrating that obedience is the natural response of the heart that truly knows Him. We are not trying to earn His favor; we are responding to it. The Bible makes it clear that “we love Him because He first loved us.” (1 John 4:19) The more we love Him, the more His love begins to be the motivation for all we think, say, and do, so that even His commands no longer feel like a burden, but a privilege. The Bible reminds us, “His commandments are not burdensome.” (1 John 5:3)

Then surrender stops feeling like obligation and starts feeling like the only reasonable response to Christ. That’s why Paul calls it “reasonable service.” This is where that powerful statement made by the late Jimmy Draper is so fitting: “Lord, the answer is yes. Now what was the question?” www.gofaithstrong.com
