Ep. 155 I Surrender (Why God Loves Broken Things)
the submission of one’s will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God’s altar. The many other things we “give,”... are actually the things He has already given or loaned to us. However, when you and I finally submit ourselves, by letting our individual wills be swallowed up in God’s will, then we are really giving something to Him! It is the only possession which is truly ours to give!
Consecration thus constitutes the only unconditional surrender which is also a total victory!
Neal A. Maxwell
In this episode, I'll share the most helpful thoughts I know on why there are times in life where we feel broken. God will lead us to some amazing places, but first he will often lead through some pretty broken places…but there is a purpose and a reason for it…and it is to develop one of the greatest character traits we can have, the ability to surrender. With God, surrendering isn't a weakness, it's a strength.
