April 17, 2020-Chapter 5: "Impossible with Man, Possible with God"- Quest: 3

QUESTION: 3

When you thought of “absolute surrender” to God, were you not brought to the end of yourself, and to feel that you could see how you actually could live as a man or woman absolutely surrendered to God every moment of the day, at your table, in your house, in your business, in the midst of trials and temptations? If you haven’t, do you think this is possible…to find true rest in your life with God? (Page 50)

ANSWER To Question 3 (As stated by the Author)

If you felt you could not do it, you are on the right road, if you let yourselves be led. Accept the position, and maintain it before God. "My heart's desire and delight, O God, is absolute surrender, but I cannot perform it. It is impossible for me to live that life. It is beyond me." Fall down and learn that when you are utterly helpless, God will come to work in you not only to will but also to do.

It comes back to ourselves when it comes to our surrender. We must come to recognize that there is nothing good in us. Every bit of us, the very soul of our nature must be surrendered to God. We must not rely on achieving anything on our own self-effort, even our absolute surrender...all must be done by God.
