The Journey of Surrendering to God- Part 1

What does it mean to Surrender to God’s Will?

Surrendering to God’s Will means to die to one’s self and give all control to God.

This is one of the hardest thing to do, how do i know this?

I know this because I am still learning how to do this myself.

Surrendering means that you are making a choice of trusting God’s plans over yours, giving him everything.

From your worries, anxieties, anger, sadness, happiness, stress and so much more.

This means submitting to God’s guidance.

I also find myself needing to submit to God’s guidance every single day, second, minutes, hours, days, weeks, moths, and years.

A perfect example would be part of the Lord’s prayer found in

Matthew 6:10: “Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”

KJV

This would mean completely dying to self and accepting God wholeheartedly no matter how hard it gets.

Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths.

KJV

The thing with us is that we tend to things that God wants totally perfection when surrendering to him but that is not quite true.

No one is more perfect that Christ Jesus whom was pure and clean lamb who came to earth and took up all of our sins, so that we can be presented to the Father as perfect every time we come before the Father.

We think that we need to get our lives in order before we can finally accept Christ and give our live to him.

Stop sinning before we can repent.

Luke 19:10

“For son of Man came to seek and save the lost”.

Luke 15: 4-7

“What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for i have found my sheep which was lost.

I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.”

KJV

This is to say that everytime a sinner repents, heaven rejoices. God would rather want you to keep getting up each time you fall and keep trying than give up and stay in sin forever.

I am no exception, we were all born into sin and no man is perfect, just keep trying and never give up hope.

This is where grace comes into play.
