Surrender. Such a cliche' word in the Christian world. As we make strides and decisions to become solely HIS it's the motive behind it, the condition of the heart that will either set us free or bind us to religion.
In my lifetime I have "surrendered" my life to Jesus more times than I can count, however I can honestly say that It's only as of recent as I am knowing God more through reading His word and praying that I am learning that behind this act of surrender there is a motive that needs to be pure. If my motive is to gain a better life even a testimony it's selfish and about me, but if I surrender with a heart that sees my sinfulness and my need for a savior and how He can use me despite me - this is where surrender brings life.
I'm rambling ... But it's good- it's deep- it's right - to know Him is to love Him, to love Him is to obey Him.
