You 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 WarrenThe bible says that all people, not just believers, possess part of the image of God; that is why murder and abortion are wrong.
Rick WarrenI love the verse in Job, where it says a man deserves the devotion of his friends even when he forsakes the Almighty. Now what that verse means to me is, even if I were to say, right now I don't believe in God. I still need you to be my friend, and say, I can believe God for you right now. I'm going to hold you up while you are ranting and railing, and God can handle my ranting and railing because He certainly handled David's and Job's and so many others.
