Nothing that they have a mind to do will be impossible for
them… Genesis 11:6
Surrender vs Passivity
Never give up! I have noticed in my journey with the Lord that
it is easy to become passive in “waiting on the Lord" (Psalm 37:7). This waiting time has often left me feeling a little despondent,
even sometimes distant from God. In this, He has shown me that passivity can sometimes be mistaken as surrender, but is quite the opposite. Surrender most
often requires great sacrifice and perhaps even the call to battle. It is having
an attitude of not giving up! As we surrender, we have the God-given privilege to make decisions and choices daily that will
take us in two very different directions – either consumed by distractions or guided
by a faithful God!

Hey Lisa, just learned of your blog from fb. Nice addition for the new year. Now to your topic, how would you define "surrender"? What does it look like on the inside? How does it come about?
