If not to God, you will surrender to the opinions or expectations of others, to money, to resentment, to fear, or to your own pride, lusts, or ego. You were designed to worship God and if you fail to worship Him, you will create other things (idols) to give your life to. You are free to choose, what you surrender to but you are not free from the consequence of that choice.

Knowing your purpose gives meaning to your life.

For God to mend your broken heart you must give him ALL the pieces. You can't hold any back.

I do believe in what I call the stewardship of influence as well as the stewardship of affluence. And that is you use whatever God gives you not for your own benefit, but use it to help people who have no benefit. And when you use whatever God gives you, he gives you more of it. When you use it well, he gives you more of it.

The more God gives you, the more responsible he expects you to be.

When God gives, he holds nothing back.

Between this day and the next you will give your life to something. The decision on what that will be will shape your destiny.

It comes from service. It is by giving our lives away that we find meaning, because that's the way we're wired, I believe, by God.

Only the Holy Spirit has the power to make the changes God wants to make in our lives.... We allow Christ to live through us... through the choices we make. We choose to do the right thing in situations and then trust God's Spirit to give us his power, love, faith, and wisdom to do it. Since God's Spirit lives inside of us, these things are always available for asking.
