In our current era, the need for spiritual awakening is evident, yet the laborers who wholeheartedly embrace God’s will are scarce.
God seeks those who surrender completely, not just reluctantly or halfheartedly.
There are three levels of surrender: unwilling surrender, half-hearted surrender, and complete surrender. You can actually say there are two counterfeit versions of surrender, but one true surrender.
When someone says yes but does the job grudgingly that’s an unwilful surrender, where complaints persist.
Half-hearted surrender is where effort lacks enthusiasm. They tend to say yes but not give their best.
A complete surrender is where one offers their all to God.
God desires wholehearted devotion, not just reluctant obedience.
He looks for those who do everything unto the Lord, no matter what it is or who’s around.
Those who lay down their life to, in return, find life through Him.
God wants your yes even when the request might seem hard and out of your comfort zone.
Surrendering isn’t just when you accept Him as your Savior but also when you make Him the Lord of your life.
Today, reflect on your surrender to God: are you unwilling, half-hearted, or fully committed?
Jesus calls us to surrender our ways and follow Him wholeheartedly, loving God with all our being and serving Him diligently in all we do.
“Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it” – Matthew 16:24-25
And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” -Matthew 22:37
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” -Colossians 3:23-24”
