Who likes the idea of surrendering? I, for one, do not. Surrender basically means relinquishing one’s own will to a higher power, and it is really one of the most difficult things to do. And I think that is because we don’t have trust, or enough trust, in the higher power. 

My pastor preached about surrender last Sunday. I’ve heard sermons like that before, and I remember that in March of this year I surrendered something to God… but later I took it back again. I took back what I surrendered to Him. And that was a mistake. I have learnt that what I have surrendered to God, I should just leave it with Him… because He knows how to deal with it much better than I do!

And so, last Sunday, I told God that I am surrendering the same thing again. I gave Him the dearest desires of my heart, and guess what happened? It was immediate — He gave me peace, and joy. I know that no matter what happens in my life, I will be okay. It has been proven time and time again. Here’s hoping I don’t again take back what I have already surrendered (for the second time!).
