WHAT IS AUTHENTIC SURRENDER?

In the week that we remember with respect the many soldiers that have given their life for their countries, I would like to focus on the essence of "Surrender" in a spiritual sense.
To many people it is somewhat a fresh revelation that human beings need "salvation" at all, so many today profess to be self-made people.
I have heard many suggest to me quite arrogantly that they are where they are today because of their own efforts and give no credit at all to anyone or anything else(let alone giving glory to God).
But I know this to be truth , that life will normally lead you to some situation or relationship that you cannot fix, control,change, like, or even understand, and dear friends what does a "self-made person" do at these times ?
I have a great suggestion for us all : SURRENDER YOUR LIFE INTO THE LOVING ARMS OF JESUS TODAY.
Just come out with your hands & heart up and see what difference there will be with a GOD MADE MAN or WOMAN!
You see only when we are brought to the very raw edge of our own resources, perceived successes & achievements, will we realise that actually we all need a Saviour & today I am delighted to tell you : HIS NAME IS JESUS!
Jesus does not ask us to be successful or greatly accredited for this often merely gives us a false sense of self-importance & an over inflated ego.
The Lord Jesus asks for our humility to confess our need of His love, forgiveness & salvation which in the light of ETERNITY will be all actually that really matters.....not our funds,not our personal achievements, not our self-made successes.........just our relationship with JESUS & our desire to be perfectly surrended to His loving & perfect will .
That is authentic surrender as clearly understood in PSALM 51 ( why not prayerfully read these radical, life-giving words).
Jesus surrendered His life for you & I that we could be saved from ourselves : Philippians 2:7 "Jesus made Himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant,being made in human likeness ." In fact for your own delight why not have another read of all of Philippians Chapter 2 then you will be given a very clear desription of how Jesus led the way in ''SURRENDER".

Praying for my readers today . SHALOM!
