Surrender.

How much of myself am I willing to give Him? How much of my life am I willing to lay down for Him? 

These two questions have been going through my mind all day. So often we sing about surrender, about giving our "all" to Him. But at the first sign of discomfort and hardship, we all too often turn and run. Jesus didn't promise us a life of ease, He promised to never leave us--to walk through the storms of life with us.

His heart is for the broken ones, the sick, the oppressed, the "least of these", the "invisible" ones that are shunned and hated by this world. And it is for these people that He asks us to pour out our lives. 

How will I respond? How will you?
