"Surrender is not the surrender of the external life, but of the will; when that is done, all is done. There are very few crises in life; the great crisis is the surrender of the will. God never crushes a man's will into surrender, He never beseeches him, He waits until the man yields up his will to Him. That battle never needs to be refought."
"After surrender--what? The whole of the life after surrender is an aspiration for unbroken communion with God."
-Oswald Chambers. My Utmost for His Highest.

Isa 61:7 Instead of their shame my people will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace they will rejoice in their inheritance; and so they will inherit a double portion in their land, and everlasting joy will be theirs.
About Me
Jesus I come
I want to meet with You
Holy Spirit fall on me anew
I see at the cross
That crimson tide has washed
Away my guilty stains for me
You Gave
Your love
falls as the morning dew
Sweep me away till I am lost in You
Jesus
My heart it longs for You
Your love reaches out You hold me close
When I need You most
I live to worship You
See all my sins nailed to that shattered form
Now praise as healing flows to me
You Gave

this is ridiculous...
was just reading a friend's blog and she quoted the exact same para from the same book.
“True surrender is not simply surrender of our external life but surrender of our will— and once that is done, surrender is complete. The greatest crisis we ever face is the surrender of our will. Yet God never forces a person’s will into surrender, and He never begs. He patiently waits until that person willingly yields to Him. And once that battle has been fought, it never needs to be fought again.”
hmmm. :)
