Surrender

Surrender.

Some might say that surrender means to admit defeat. To give up.

Really that's only part of what it means.

Yes, when we surrender our lives and our will to God, it means admitting that we alone can do nothing and we give up trying to do it out of our own power.

But the second part of that is the belief that God is all powerful and that by His strength we can do all things for His glory.

Surrender is about our weakness and His strength.

Each time he said, "My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness." So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.
2 Corinthians 12:9

An exchange that will forever change our lives.

Gladly, I will wave the white flag of surrender.

Knowing that by doing so I am claiming His victory.

For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.
Philippians 4:13
