“Sometimes the very thing we relinquish is given back to us…(and) sometimes there are times when the release is permanent…Why does God seemingly require relinquishment before bringing something into being?
Part of the answer lies in the fact that frequently we hold on so tightly to the good that we do know that we cannot receive the greater good that we do not know. God has to help us let go of our tiny vision in order to release the greater good he has in store for us.”
[Richard Foster]
“It is in the laboratory of life that our initial consecration to Christ is tested, proven, and demonstrated in daily, moment-by-moment choices and responses, as we surrender to the sovereignty and will of God.”

“Like faith and hope, trust cannot be self-generated. I cannot simply will myself to trust. What outrageous irony: the only thing I am responsible for throughout my life I cannot generate. The one thing I need to do I cannot do. But such is the meaning of radical dependence. What does lie within my power is paying attention to the faithfulness of Jesus. That’s what I am asked to do: pay attention to Jesus throughout my journey, remembering his kindness (Psalm 103:2).”
[Brennan Manning]
The fact remains that when we sign the blank contract of surrender, there are no guarantees about where God will lead us or how difficult our journey will be. Yet we know the character of the One in whom we’ve placed our trust. And we know that God’s promises more than offset any risk or danger or challenges that He may allow into our lives.”
