Surrender All

To surrender means to, relinquish to the power of another; yield to the control of another.  Christ calls us to take up our cross and follow Him.  We are to surrender our life to Him.  We are to walk like Him, talk, like Him, act like Him, and think like Him.  He says we are to have the mind of Christ.  

Hands outstretched, mean surrender.  We are to be totally surrendered to Christ.  No longer do we desire our will or our way, but we long to please Him.  There is no happiness until we finally and willfully surrender all to Christ.

Most of us will surrender some areas of our life to Christ, but there are those few areas that we would rather handle ourselves.  In other words, we do not fully surrender all to Christ.  We hold back and try to handle things ourselves, but it's full surrender that He wants. 

We must lose ourselves to truly find ourselves.  C. S. Lewis said, "Nothing you have not given away will ever really be yours."   Give it up.  Give it all to Christ, hold nothing back.
