Surrender

Surrender is difficult.
I am not one to quit, to admit defeat, even in some situations where the rational thing to do is just that.
But even more than just simple giving up is giving oneself up to another. God calls for complete surrender to him, but he does not force that upon anyone. While he wants us--me--to lay everything before him and let him take control, we still have the choice, we must still make the decision to surrender. God may allow circumstances to affect me, to break me, to cause me to look toward surrender, but I still have to choose to let myself fall, or else it means nothing.
