To experience meaning in life,
God invites you to surrender completely to Him

Picture
Jesus modeled complete surrender and selfless sacrifice when he gave his life on the cross to take the punishment we deserved.  Shortly before he did this, he prayed “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” (Mat. 26:39 NIV) Well before that  Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me.” (Mat. 16:24 NLT)

God calls us to surrender what is most valuable; your time and resources. First, take time this week to surrender your time in prayer.  Praise him, confess sin, give him thanks, ask him for what you need, and listen for his direction.  Second, surrender your finances and stuff.  It all belongs to God; he can take it in a blink of an eye.  The question is how are you using it for him.  Tithing (giving 10% of your income to your church) is a good reminder of this truth.  If you can surrender your wallet, you are well on your way to full surrender.  (see Mat. 6:19-34)
