--What is a 'surrendered life' to Christ?

'Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.'
--James 4:10

-I once heard a pastor friend of mine speaking about what it means to be devoted to God. He made the point that many Christians get caught up in making commitments to Christ. Yet, even in the act of commitment, believers still have the element of control. They can uncommit and recommit again whenever they want.

When I heard this, it really opened my eyes to the very serious problem we’re facing today. Many Christians want to meet God on their terms. They’ll go here and do this or that for Jesus. But once you ask them to do something different than they had planned, well, God certainly wouldn’t call them to that!

The big question is this: Are we willing to completely give up control? Can we get to the point where we go beyond a simple commitment to God and can truly say, “Father… wherever, whatever, whenever… I’m all yours”?

That’s the kind of devotion God wants you to have toward Him. So instead of grasping onto whatever kind of control you can, trust God. Believe in His goodness and love for you and that He’ll never lead you astray. Surrender completely to Him by giving Him complete control over your life and He will lift you up!

--LIVE A LIFE OF SURRENDER, NOT JUST COMMITMENT, TO GOD AND -HE WILL LIFT YOU UP.

[The Lord Jesus gave His entire life for us. He did not even have a place to lie His head. He surrendered His life to save us from our sins. "Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins." The requirement was to be made by a completely sinless, perfect blood sacrifice. Only Jesus Christ could measure up to the requirement. And He did all of that just for 'YOU'. Take the Bible as a personal 'Love Letter' to 'YOU". Do not wait another day, we are not promised tomorrow. Please, Come to Jesus, surrender your entire life for serving Him, and helping to spread the Gospel around this earth. THEN He will come back. He told us, "I will return when the Gospel has been preached to the uttermost parts of the world." Everyone will have the chance. MOST will deny and not accept this glorious, sacrifice Jesus paid for 'OUR' sins'. Please come to the Savior, don't wait 'until you get your life cleaned-up', because no matter how you try , 'apart from Jesus we can do nothing'. Take Him now. He loves you with an everlasting life. You will spend eternity with all those who have accepted this 'free gift'. It surely was not free for Jesus. HE DIED A TERRIBLE DEATH on that Cross. He did it just for YOU, my friend.// 'Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus' ~~] ~~
