What is a surrendered life?

You’ve given your heart and your life to Jesus so how do you truly surrender to following Him?

Determine to commit your whole existence to Him. No matter how ugly or sinful it might appear to you, every part of your life. Regardless of your perception, even the small details should be surrendered to Jesus. This includes all of your daily decisions, no matter how small you think they are. It even includes looking for your keys or what grocery items to buy. Every decision in your life should be “filtered through Jesus”.

It sounds impossible to do, doesn’t it? It would be if we were doing it on our own but when you become a Christian the Holy Spirit lives inside you and with His strength and guidance you can live this way. It isn’t easy though. Your desires and ideas will get in the way and you will stumble off the pathway at times but He will guide you back if you listen to Him and follow Him. It is a daily struggle and Jesus told His disciples they would have trouble in this world.

God knows our weaknesses and our strengths and He is willing to help us with both. That is the function of the Holy Spirit in our lives. He helps us and teaches us in every way. God is not “controlling” us but if we are moving away from His will for our lives He will move us back. If we are so stubborn that we push through and go our way, He will let us fail and fall until we realize that we messed up.

God can do it!

When you get to the end of your rope, give it to Jesus and He can accomplish whatever is needed for your good and His glory.

You need to HEAR it!

The commandment that we should follow

The most important [commandment],” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”
Mark 12:29-31

So why can’t the church live these Commandments today? Many people are hurting today, all over the world, because the Church isn’t doing this. We give money to corrupt organizations who take advantage of the people that we are trying to help and then we wonder why our donations didn’t help.

I put my trust in God
