Alas, we try so hard. Why is it that we have such good intentions on the front end of transformation and then find ourselves regripping that which we had let go? We fall into that trap of attempting to just do one or two things that seem to be a good idea, but ultimately are us trying to control life. There is no magic way to surrender. It is a daily practice we must do. We must invite Jesus to be a part of our lives and daily surrender our will to Him. There is so much we can do on our own and sometimes it is tempting to just do it. Other times it is not even a temptation to do it on our own, we will find ourselves doing it without even thinking, a habit almost. I ask God to show me those things that I tend to keep for myself to work on instead of turning them over to the Spirit. It is easy to fall into the trap as the Galatians did and lean on the flesh. Living by the Spirit takes time and practice. It's all a part of the journey. Surrender.
