This morning I was getting out of the car and I was reminded that surrendering is a daily practice. I thought about how faith is explained, "Are you saved?" We put our faith's defining moment as one experience of salvation and commitment to that salvation.
My life works best when I give up daily to the grace of God and put away the idol of my own self sufficiency. I cannot change the things that I so desperately want and need to change in my life to make me a better human being.
I need to say, "God, I want you to take it away. I will do my part, but I will not be able to do it alone."
So, in the dark of the morning after a five mile run...I gave it up.
I hope to do so tomorrow, again.
Then...again...again...again...
