"Surrender yourself to the Lord, and wait patiently for him"
Instead of trying harder, you trust more. You also know you've surrendered when you don't react to criticism and rush to defend yourself. Surrendered 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.
Reflecting on this, I know I've not truly surrendered. I still feel indignant and quick to anger when accused. Today I surrender this again. Like Ps mentioned, how many times have I repented for the same sin. I have lost count of the number of times that I've repented for the same sin, knowing fully well that I will fall again.
But God is faithful. He has faith in me even when I don't have that same faith in myself.
"The greatness of a man's power is in the measure of his surrender"
William Booth
