Total surrender to God: the surprising key to experiencing the sense of peace and purpose you crave.
There is a gnawing feeling inside all of us that says we could be better. If we would just be more organized or work a little harder, wed finally have the rich and fulfilling life we want.
But the message of the cross is different.
The message is not one of God saying, I died for your sins to work as a consultant to help you achieve the life youre determined to have. Jesus died to reconcile us to God so that we can die and give our lives to him and to othersa total surrender that is truly a beautiful defeat!
Perspective and peace in the midst of the stormy chaos of life are always available to the person who lives a surrendered life. The result is a rich existence basking in the pleasure and approval of God.
