We soon find it all but impossible to live the Christian life with our own strength and goodness. It is through God’s strength that we know courage, and through his power that we know goodness. When we realise this, surrender becomes our priority. In seeking to unite our will with God’s more fully, we don’t want a fixed blissful union with him, one that is filled with passivity. Surrendering to him means growth and progress. It is the freedom of moving forward with and through him, so that each of our relationships and all of our work, worship, suffering and play reflect what he wants of us.
