Nobody likes the word “surrender.” It sounds like quitting, like losing. But in God’s Word, surrender isn’t losing. It’s where you start.
In 2 Corinthians 8, Paul tells about the churches of Macedonia. They were persecuted and in “deep poverty,” yet they begged for the chance to give to believers they would never meet. How? They “first gave their own selves to the Lord” (2 Corinthians 8:5).
This message isn’t about how much you have. It’s about who has you.
