My son, give me thy heart. Proverbs 23.26.


Surrender is not a promising God to do His will, nor is it making covenant with God to do what cannot be done. To surrender is for me to take my hands off my own life.

Suppose you give a book to someone, yet your hand will not let loose of the book; will your friend be able to receive it? When we come to God we must say to Him, "I hand over to You all my good and bad, my likes and dislikes, my willing and not willing, my do’s and do not’s." Are we willing to do this? If we are not, there is nothing God can do for us. It is our responsibility to hand over our defeated selves. God is ever ready, waiting for you and me to do this one thing, to be willing to hand over these selves of ours.
