Why are the best things in life among the hardest things in life?
Surrrender.
It goes against human nature to concede. To give in. To yield completely to another. Even when that “another” is God. Because God doesn’t fail, the idea of surrender should be a no brainer. The opposite is what we tend to live out. Because it’s God, we pull out all the thoughts, ideas, rebuttals, refusals and hold back.
I saw this video and the message resonates with me each time I watch it. Take a look.

There are so many layers to surrendering. Let me share a few more thoughts:
- Surrendering is H-A-R-D!!!!
- To surrender is a choice.
- Even making no choice is actually a choice all on its own.
- It’s our responsibility. God doesn’t coerce or force us to surrender.
- We have to be all in because there’s no room for partial surrender.
- Jesus didn’t die in pieces. His death was complete. Surrender cannot happen in pieces; it must be complete.
