relinquish

We don__ like death. We__ rather produce seeds another way. But death to ourselves, our agendas, our expectations, our hopes is necessary to find deep joy that comes when we fully relinquish ourselves to the gospel.

Surrendering is intentionally laying down the power I possess. And have I considered that the power I lay down is often more powerful than that which I__ laying it down in front of? Therefore, I would be wise to recognize that surrender is less the absence of power and more the presence of fear.
