One does not surrender a life in an instant. That which is lifelong can only be surrendered in a lifetime. Nor is surrender to the will of God (per se) adequate to fullness of power in Christ. Maturity is the accomplishment of years, and I can only surrender to the will of God as I know what that will is.
Elisabeth ElliotYou will never understand why God does what He does, but if you believe Him, that is all that is necessary. Let us learn to trust Him for who He is.
