Okay so let’s try this name. I didn’t really like the last one-or the last two for that matter-so let’s try this one. Yes, Esther, it does sound a little sad but it means alot of stuff. This surrender is safer than that of most people because it is a surrender that will insure my safety not put it in jeopordy (sp?). I want to explain all the cool stuff I’ve been learning from God but I don’t know that I can. Let me just give ya’ll some excerpts from this book I’m reading. It will explain my name better than I can.
“The very idea of always, all day, abiding in Jesus, was too high-something they [unseasoned Christians] might attain to after a life of holiness and growth, but certianly not waht a feeble beginner was to start with.
They did not know how, when Jesus said, ‘My yoke is easy’ (Matt 11:30), He spoke the truth; how the yoke gives rest, because the moment the soul yields itself to obey, the Lord Himself gives the strength and joy to do it. They did not notice how when He said, ‘Learn of me,’ He added, ‘I am meek and lowly in heart’ (Matt 11:29), to assure them that His gentleness would meet their every need and bear them as a mother bears her feeble child. Oh, they did not know that when He said, ‘Abide in me’ (John 15:4), He only asked the surrender to Himself; His almight love would hold them fast and keep and bless them. And so, as some had erred from the lack of full consecration, so thesefailed because they didn’t fully trust. These two, consecration and faith, are essential elements of the Christian Life-the giving up all to Jesus, the recieving all from Jesus. They are implied in each other; they are united in one word: surrener. A full surrender is to obey as well as to trust, to trust as well as to obey.”
So that is why I chose that name. I’m sorry it took so long to read it’s hard to keep it short when excerpting from this book. But, if you made it, I hope God taught you something or spoke something to you like He did to me.
Love you Guys,
Ashley
