You know you're surrendered to God when you rely on God to work, things out instead of trying to manipulate others, force your agenda, and control the situation. You let go and let God work. The Bible says, "Surrendered yourself to the Lord, and wait patiently for him."
Instead of trying harder you trust more. You also know you're surrendered when you don't react to criticisms and rush to defend yourself. Surrender hearts show up best in relationships. You don't edge others out, you don't demand your rights, and you aren't self-serving when you're surrendered. Surrender is hard work. In our case, it is intense warfare against our self-centered nature.
Victory comes through surrender. It doesn't weaken you it strengthens you. Surrendered to God, you don't have to fer or surrender to anything else.
"So give yourselves completely to God."
The best way to live: Everybody eventually surrenders to someone or something. 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. You were designed to worship God. You are free to choose what you surrender to, but you are not free from the consequences of that choice.
Surrender is not the best way to live it is the only way to live. You cannot fulfill God's purposes for your life while focusing on your own plans. Don't be afraid, nothing under his control can ever be out of control.
--The heart of worship is surrender.
--'Surrender your whole being to him to be used for righteous purposes.
Romans 6;13 (TEV)
