Sometimes I question whether I mean that or not... That which does not kill us makes us stronger. What the heck ever I feel sometimes... that which is making me stronger may not be killing me but it sure creates pain. Can we really change without pain? If pain does not present itself do we resist change? In some situations, we are able to hear the truth or someones life experience and say I get it and do it... then there are the other areas where pain must be present in order for us to fully surrender. I really wish that was not so... but the voice of experience says it must be.
Surrender is the act of letting go of our own lives so that we can experience the life God wants for us. When we are not surrendered, when are heels are firmly dug in THAT is when it kills us... our will that is. A willful surrender does produce strength... strength of character. Oh I so get when we exercise our self will that we do die a slow painful death. God wants all of us.... body, soul, mind, spirit. When we are his he can pour himself into us AND we experience life to the fullest.....
