Galations 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the Life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Surrendering our will and our ways can be difficult and that is why even in surrender we must ask Jesus can you help us. It's not that he comes after we surrender but I have grown to understand that he even comes and help us surrender if we humble ourselves and seek after him. Receiving Jesus takes a heart of surrender. And a heart of surrender takes the help of Jesus. Why though? Why is it so hard to let go and let God you may ask. I believe it's all about faith. We were made in a way that we cannot overcome this world. Jesus had to take our place. Now when we receive him we are part of him. Connected to him. Connected to his Body. So when our hearts is willing he doesn't wait until we let go. He helps us let go. That pain, or that sin we tend to always remember or that bitterness or jealousy. What I am saying is Jesus is in the Lions den with you. He is in the fire furnace with you. He is on the other side of the Red Sea but at the same time he is right there crossing the Red Sea with you. In John chapter 8 Jesus told the people Before Abraham was " I Am".
In our lack of knowledge and experience of our own. Also in strength let us all understand that Jesus is over all understanding. That alone should bring about understanding in him that only in him he makes a way. I bring this up because we sometimes may have the right intentions, motives, plans, and actions yet understand our own strength doesn't bring about deliverance and transformation. Or Restoration. Only him. It's all about Jesus. And he will crown our efforts with success when we put our faith in him. Our surrender will happen because he is there helping us. Not us trying to do it own our on. May God Bless you.
