MOVING FORWARD IN SURRENDER

 

He went on a little farther and fell to the ground. He prayed that, if it were possible, the awful hour awaiting him might pass him by. “Abba, Father,” he cried out, “everything is possible for you. Please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.” Mark 14:35-36

 

Surrender is a military term that means to stop resisting and to submit to the authority you are opposing. As we surrender to God, we get to experience His best plans for us which work for our greater good. This will lead us forward into a life of freedom, excitement and blessing.
