We seem to live in a world that continually fights over power. If one person has it, another can't. Power is certainly not something we talk about sharing very often - as if sharing our power will diminish it over time.
Yet, even with this mindset, we seem to struggle with the idea that it is God who is powerful and not us. We have been deceived by the idea that we need to be all-powerful instead of leaning into the power and grace of God. Humility seems to be something that we are lacking around this topic and as a result, we are not a people who surrender our hearts or our wills very easily.
The people hymn "I Surrender All" states: "All to Jesus I surrender, all to him I freely give" - yet how often is this not true in our live. For the sake of our own power, or at least the appearance of it, we don't surrender our hearts to Jesus, even after we have asked him to transform us and save us.
What would it look like in your life to truly surrender all power to God? How would this lead us to live differently?
