God Expects Your Surrender

Yes, it has its foundation in the very nature of God God cannot do otherwise. Who is God? He is the

Fountain of life, the only Source of existence and power and goodness, and throughout the universe

there is nothing good but what God works, God has created the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and

the flowers, and the trees, and the grass; and are they not all absolutely surrendered to God? Do they

not allow God to work in them just what He pleases? When God clothes the lily with its beauty, is it not

yielded up, surrendered, given over to God as He works in it its beauty? And God’s redeemed

children, oh, can you think that God can work His work if there is only half or a part of them

surrendered? God cannot do it. God is life, and love, and blessing, and power, and infinite beauty, and

God delights to communicate Himself to every child who is prepared to receive Him; but ah! this one

lack of absolute surrender is just the thing that hinders God. And now He comes, and as God.

Our body is a temple of God, in which God will dwell and work mightily on one condition — absolute

surrender to Him. God claims it, God is worthy of it, and without it God cannot work His blessed work

in us.. God not only claims it, but God will work it Himself.
