The best way to live. Everybody eventually surrenders to something or someone. If not to God, you will surrender to the opinions or expectations of others, to money, to resentment, to fear, or to your own pride, lusts, or ego.
Rick Warren • The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here For?
Surrender
Surrender is when your ego, the independent acting part of you, brings its will to Spirit and gives permission and authority for Spirit to act. It's like stepping aside and allowing Spirit to take the lead in taking care of your body, mind, and responses to energies.
The scriptures give greatest importance to sacrifice to the higher power.
... See moreI read once that surrender is what happens when God hands you a blank piece of paper with a space for you to sign your name at the bottom and then you hand it back to him to fill in as he wills.
