Mother Teresa describes the joy of surrendering oneself to Jesus Christ and leading a Christian life

Why is it such a struggle for us to surrender everything to God? What does surrendering to God even look like and how are we supposed to do it? Why is it so hard for us to live the life that Jesus died to give us? Is life really supposed to be one constant struggle after another? One of the hardest things to do in life is to let go, giving God everything and never looking back. Laying it all down, never picking it up is the only way we can walk through this dark unfair world shinning and burning brightly for Jesus. Wanting control over our lives is the struggle that many Christians face and the turmoil of that fight is constantly lurking deep in our hearts. For many know what to do, but few actually do it: surrender. When a person holds onto frustration, bitterness, and the injustices of life their pain slowly evolves into chains that hold him down, disabling him to walk through life with peace, love, joy, and compassion. The only way to truly live is to die to our selfish nature every day and cast all of our burdens at the feet of Jesus.

No one can deny that situations in the world today are become more catastrophic, and the end-times seem to be drawing closer with each new day. However, all hope is not lost, whether for Christians or non-Christians, as confidence for the future ahead can be regained again in complete surrender to the Creator of each person: the Almighty God. So, how does one go about giving everything in his/her life over to God in surrender? It's easier said than done; but to Crystal Archibald, author of the new book Total Surrender, it is possible to lovingly give God one's life to be used for His purposes. Our everything needs to be surrendered to God. All of our hopes and aspirations should be totally embedded in God's will for our lives and although its much easier said than done, it is a much better perspective... Crystal pinpoints several avenues of sin where people can fall into temptation and agree to the devil's promptings to give into their fleshy desires and wishes. She compares these examples of present-day temptations people struggle with to what people from the Bible endured, people who handled similar enticements but sought God for redemption. Think of King David and his overwhelming desire to commit adultery with the married Bathsheba, which led him down a dangerous path that was later redeemed by God. The same with Paul, as his sin-led pursuit of killing Christians guided him to be saved by God and continue on a new path bringing people to Christ. These miracles happen only when the person came to God in total surrender, wanting His will for life instead of personal will. Surrender doesn't have to be seen as giving up, but giving towards a greater reason for life in God's ultimate plan for the world.
