How many of us are really satisfied with our spiritual lives? Why do we struggle so much with relating with God? The Bible tells us that God is love and that God is also personally interested in connect with us. So, why do we feel like God is a million miles away at times? We even try and try and try to connect with Him, serve Him and do whatever we can. But, yet we still feel empty.
I think we’re missing a basic spiritual principle: God doesn’t want us to commit. He doesn’t want commitment. He doesn’t want us to try to do it on own self-effort. Rather, for us to experience life with God in a way that brings inner peace, joy and contentment we need to rethink things. God doesn’t want us to commit to Him, He wants us to surrender instead.
Surrendering is submitting our whole being and lives to God so that He can begin to work out His purposes in our lives and through us.
