The heart of worship is surrender.
Give yourselves to God… Surrender your whole being to him to be used for righteous purposes. Romans 6:13. (TEV)
Genuine surrender says, “Father, if this problem, pain, sickness, or circumstance is needed to fulfill your purpose and glory in my life or in another’s, please don’t take it away.”
This level of maturity does not come easy.
Surrender is hard work.
Surrendered people are the ones God uses. God uses Mary to be the mother of Jesus, not because she was talented or wealthy or beautiful, but because she was totally surrendered to him. When the angel explained God’s improbable plan, she calmly responded, “I am the Lord’s servant, and I am willing to accept whatever he want.” Nothing is more powerful than a surrendered life in the hands of God.
“So give yourselves completely to God.” Amen.
