Every day I get a choice. I can choose to go God's way or I can choose to go my own way or Satan's way or if I walk out of this door I don't know that I blame myself if my choice. .. because the bottom line is I want what I want what I want. ... People ask me what the greatest sin is. I feel the greatest sin is to want to be God: Pride, I want my own way. What it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ - give as much of yourself as you understand to as much of Jesus as you understand at that moment.
Rick WarrenYou also know youโre surrendered when you donโt react to criticism and rush to defend yourself. Surrendered hearts show up best in relationships. You donโt edge others out, you donโt demand your rights, and you arenโt self-serving when youโre surrendered.
Rick WarrenOnly you can be you. God designed each of us so there would be no duplication in the world. No one has the exact same mix of factors that make you unique. That means no one else on earth will ever be able to play the role God planned for you. If you donโt make your unique contribution to the Body of Christ, it wonโt be made.
