Surrender is a mighty powerful word.
Sometimes we wonder why God had to wait until we’re tired and worn out, until we’ve finally given up before He gives us what we want.
And the answer is that we have made Him wait that long before we allowed Him to carry on His work and give us what it is we’ve been praying for.
Let us repent therefore.
Repent as in the word “metanoia” which means “a change of mind”.
From doing things our own way, let us trust and cooperate with the Spirit
so we may live the full life Jesus has promised us all!

One reply on “The Power of Surrender”
Ah, I agree. I have been there many times. Yep, as human beings we may tend to want to think that it is God waiting until we’re tired and worn out. However, like you stated, it’s us that make Him wait that long!
Yes, repenting as in “a change of mind” is what is needed!
