Quck, what thoughts come to mind when you think "Surrender"? Perhaps loss, or loser, or quitter? Generally, the thought of surrender isn't held up as a positive. Which is why none of us should be surprised when the mention of surrender doesn't sound appealing, even in a spiritual context. Who wants to "give up" anything? The person who has "stuff" rarely wants to have less of it (or at least until moving day). The person with money isn't often overheard to be saying, "geeze, I just wish I had $50,000. less in my account today". And the man with some free time will sometimes resent the invitation by another to do something "useful" with that surplus of hours. No, it isn't often that we're found to be voluntarily tendering our surrender of anything. Perhaps though, in light of Jesus call to each of us to lay down our lives, we should take another look at the whole idea of yielding. Can we do that today?
