What I'm reminded of today, and need daily reminding of...

sur·ren·der [suh-ren-der]
Verb
(1) to yield to the power, control, or possession of another upon compulsion or demand; 
(2) to give up completely or agree to forego especially in favor of another

Synonyms
yield, give up, hand over, lay down, relinquish, render
Antonym
resist, fight, defy

Matthew 10:38-39
"And whoever does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses (GRK: to destroy, to put out of the way entirely, abolish, render useless) his life for my sake will find it." 

Words will never suffice; Christ demands our lives--fully surrendered.

God knows, and I only prove, that I cannot do it on my own. So, "Savior, please."
