surrender

Do I really have the desire for change in my life, if I constantly resist that change?  Do I really want to follow Jesus, if I continually refuse to surrender to him?  If I constantly try to manage and control my own life?  If I refuse to embrace the powerlessness and dependence necessary to be truly led by him?  If I refuse to be still and listen.  If I refuse to respond to his will and his direction, rather than forcing my own?  If I refuse to become nothing, so that he might become everything?  If I refuse to become forgotten, so that he can be remembered?  If I refuse to become small, so that he can become big?  If I refuse to be hidden, so that he might be seen?  If I refuse to become no one, rather than always trying to be someone? 

The answer: probably not.
