Surrender

sur·ren·der (redefined):

It is often the case that surrender appears to be our last option. As in: "I will only give in when I run out of options; I will only quit trying to be in charge when (insert circumstance here)."


Could it be that we have a skewed vision of what "surrender" is? I think in many cases yes. We often view surrender as weak, as a shameful admittance that we are not in control.


Here's what's been on my mind lately: maybe surrender is not such a shameful thing; maybe it should not always be viewed as a last resort - at least not when it is God who is involved in the equation of us surrendering.
