Surrender...

I've been thinking about how Jesus surrendered to the will of His Father and went to the cross for you and me. He went there just because of you and me. Just because we exist - not that we did anything outstanding - just because He loves us. I can't imagine the kind of love He has for me - I can't imagine sacrificing one of my kids or grandbabies so that the world could have eternal life. I would like to think I would sacrifice myself for those I love. I can't imagine or understand how Jesus willingly laid on the cross for those who hailed Him and then hurled insults, for those who beat Him, for sinners like me who hurt Him. I want to surrender to the feelings of what Jesus endured for me. I want to surrender to the knowledge that He died for me. I want to totally surrender to LIVE for HIM. I want to surrender to working until He comes again. If you don't know Him, surrender now.
