Gaining information about yourself is useful. It can help you choose a career, improve your skills, or assist you in understanding relationships at work and home. However, the most beneficial result of understanding who you are, where you have been, and what you desire surfaces when you take what you’ve learned and surrender it all to the One Who created and liberated you.
Surrendering moves you from being self-centered and confined to becoming God-centered and free. You can then relax, be yourself and trust. Yet surrendering is a choice. Although God doesn’t force you to commit to Him, He does invite you to join Him in His loving and powerful work here on earth. Surrendering seems counter-productive. Yet it’s the ultimate adventure!
“Commit everything you do to the LORD. Trust him, and he will help you.” (Ps. 37:5 NLT)
