Fully surrendering to God

I want to highlight an excellent essay by Brian of Zealous Endeavor on surrendering all areas of our lives to God. He writes:

As we begin to take seriously this life to which we are called, we must surrender wholly to His will, to His leading, to His Word, and to His commands. We must know that it is only by the grace we have received through the cross that we are able to approach Him and seek after Him wholeheartedly. It is “in Him that we live and move and exist” (Acts 17:28). In Him, and by His power, our surrender leads to His name being glorified. There is no greater calling than this, to glorify God through our complete submission, and to make His name known by the simple testimony of His work in our lives.

Ever since picking up Zealous Endeavor through a comment on the 268 blog after Passion 06, I’ve been blessed by Brian’s essays that he shares there. I think that “Wholly Surrendered” is especially well written, and encourage you to check out the full essay.
