Resisting Vs Surrender

Resisting vs Surrender

There is a church song called, I Surrender All, this is an amazing song with a very profound meaning and consequence.

(A) What does it mean to resist? How does it affect our lives? (It can raise your stress levels!).

(B) What does it mean to surrender? How it affects us? (It can lower your stress level!)

Resisting– First we must understand that, there are three ways to resist

    • Resisting mentally, by not mentally co-operating or being disagreeable and argumentative.
    • Resisting physically, by some physical means or action.
  • Resisting by giving no response at all, to a situation or a question.

1Sam15:23  For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD,(Gen 15:1) he hath also rejected thee from being king. (Saul)

Surrender– Secondly we must also understand that there are three different ways to surrender.

    • –By giving up.
    • –By giving in.
  • –By giving up and giving in to, The Word Of The Lord (Gal 3:16-29), which produces faith, Gen 15:1, Gal 316-29, Heb 11:17-18, Gen 17:21, Matt 1:21, Luke 8:11.).

  Note: The most important thing in our personnel life,” is to try” and be at peace with yourselve, in different situations in life. Being at peace with yourself will keep your emotions from running away on you, and this peace (Matt 14:27) keeps your emotions on a level plane. Resisting is not the way to be at peace with yourself.

Emotions that are and that stay in check,  will keep you off of an emotional rollercoaster in life. 

  Note: Learning how to surrender instead of resisting, will give you the tools to cope with some of life’s hard situations. It takes a deep commitment in decision making, that involves your heart and emotions, and your mind and spirit, which is your thinking. (Life is all about your choices GOOD and or EVIL.)

  Note: I personally think there should be counseling lessons on how to surrender in life’s situations, I also think this would help a lot of children, that are misdirected and or wayward. It should also be taught to our children to learn how to surrender in life, in very positive ways.

 What does it mean to resist! It can be! (We must take deep thought, and monitor are actions, that can be good and or evil in intent!)

    • –against a truth
    • –strive against by resisting that truth
  • –opposing any truth, or positive action that brings about a postive result

All examples on this website are to get you thinking, and to help you change your thinking and actions, if you so desire to.

What Is Resisting?

Nothing more than rebellion, aginst any truth! It is man’s resisting and or rebellious nature that gets him into trouble in life, and or with The Lord God! All humans have this resisting rebellous nature to some degree, some more than others. Fortunately some of us have it under control, and unfortunately some of us do not. The people that go along with rules and things in society, and life with no troubles, have in fact got their rebellious nature under control for the most part. I will go into this control in some detail, in the section of this website, in the section on Surrender.

  Note: There are consequences for every action, the law of physics states: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction(Natural and Spiritual).

    • –Resisting can cause risen stress levels and difficulties, in many different ways and ares in our lives.
    • –By resisting, your stress levels rise and can cause negative, spiritual, emotional and physical actions that can be both negative and destructive by nature.
    • -I don’t think there is anyone that wants to have or feel the effects of  negative stresses. Many of these thoughts and ideas are to aid you, in coping with, and to overcome your fleshes rebellious resisting nature.
  • -There is a time to resist and a time to not resist, the decision is up to you to be at peace with yourself, and stay that way, and to stay out of stress all the time.
  • -When your 100% sure, that you are in the right because you have proven by some means, what it is you are resisting against, and you know you are right in thought or action, that is the time for you to resist. But not if the other party remains  argumentative and or resistive against you, by this, their ignorant resisting, can cause yours and their stress levels to rise.
    • -When you are in disagreement with another, and your truly not sure your response is correct, or you don’t have your facts straight, that’s not the time to resist and be disagreeable. It surely will cause unnecessary arguments that cause stress.
    • -When you see an injustice, and you feel that something is wrong, that is the time to resist the injustice.
  • -Resisting is futile, 99% of the time, when your in a situation you cannot win, or your clearly in the wrong, it will only cause your stress levels to rise and cause emotional breakdowns. 

Example: A crook is running from the police after he has been spotted and the police are closing in on him, does he think they are going to give up and let him go if he keeps running and resisting?

Do you think that being surrounded by 3 to 10 cops, that this is a very wise time to resist? If you do, it will cause your stress levels to go up.

What do you think the police are going through at the time the crook is resisting? When the crook resist, it also causes the stress levels of the police to rise, the outcome is pretty obvious, someone will get hurt.

Resisting In an Argument

 Have you ever watched two people in an argument?

    • -They disagree and cannot seem to come to some or any sort of conclusion, but continue to resist each other.
    • -The more they disagree and resist each other the more their stress levels rise.
    • -Then comes the yelling match, and neither can hear the other, because they are yelling so loud at each other and cannot hear, their resisting becomes greater in intensity.{When the mouth opens the ears close!}
  • -Now the anger sets in and their resisting turns to stressful  rage.
  • –This rage  (Frustration is the mother of anger and rage!) causes the emotions to heighten and the blood(so to speak) begins to boil, and the stress levels rise, at this point one or both individuals become flush and red in the face.

        -With emotions raising and anger heightened because the resisting, now the resisting between the parties has come to a point where human fleshy nature begins to lose control of itself, and the rebellion of the flesh, now has total of the argument.

        -The results of this resisting, causes actions such as physical fights, throwing things, abusive language and even murder.

The consequences of resisting can only be devastating to say the least. Is this what you want in life?

Resisting causes wars

 Example: A certain country made a claim that another country had weapons of mass destruction and or nuclear ambitions, the leader of the accused country denied they had any such weapons. The country that made the accusations wanted proof to support the others denial, instead of letting the UN inspectors have full reign and prove that there were no such weapons of any sort. The leader of the accused country decided that he would play a game of cat and mouse,  by keep the accusing country guessing. By resisting, the acussed nation put his whole country at risk of negative consequences, because of his pridefull, rebeelious and thoughtless actions. The leader of the accused country resisted to the point where the accusing country decided to take decisive action. The actions of the acussed leader, resisting not only caused his fall from leadership, but also caused the death of his of himself, son and grandson, then ultimately the destruction of his nation. The real sad part in this, is all the deaths of the innocent people, along with the death of so many soldiers on both sides of this tragic conflict. Resisting can be devastating in our lives to say the least.

 Adolf Hitler caused the whole world to go to war because of his greedy, rebellious, foolish and prideful actions, and his resistance to world peace caused the death of millions of people. There were people that did not approve of Hitler’s action’s, they were called the resistance fighters.

Take for example the war in the Middle East on terrorism, this war will go on and on. Like Vietnam, no one will ever win a unless war based upon the heart of any prideful man: unless one gives up and in, or both sides lay down their arms, which is no t likely because of mankind’s religious, rebellious, resisting nature.    see belows brackets. (((The only true winner of war, “is war itself“, because when wars are started, war has accomplished the main goal of a war, death, destruction, and acqusition of anothers goods and or property! War always wins any war! No one wins when war contiues, because the only winner is war, which has accomplished its goal. WAR! The rich feed off of war, by selling militay equitment and essentials of many sorts! See John 10:10)))

  • They come to a mutual agreement through wisdom and understanding, which is highly unlikely.
    • They run out of money, troops or arms on either side.
    • They annihilate each other.
  • Somebody surrenders, not likely either .

These terrorist fighters get caught and give up, but they do not give in, and with every breath and chance they get, will defend their cause, going back to their main goal, terroism.

Because the two sides constantly resist each other, there will never be an end to any conflict, and tensions will continue to rise among parties. They will continue to resist each other. It will always be a loosing conflict, with no true winner’s(Except War!), only death and destruction will be the reward of all wars.

 You cannot win, any continuos loosing  religious battle or (That has raged on since Ismael and Isaac),  conflict with force or resisting, you have to change the minds and hearts of the opposing people, and surrender your forces, or surrender your hearts to change. All your diplomacy is in vein if you cannot change the heart.

The only solution is surrender of hearts, a war that is religious by nature can never be won with force. History has proven this, it just keeps going on. You have to reach the hearts of the people involved with Truth(John 14:6), to have a real valid change. Let’s face the facts about resisting, all wars and fights with groups of people or with individuals, were and are the results of someone or everyone resisting.

 Remember this website is not political, but intended to make you think about the consequences of resisting, it just so happens that these are very strong examples of resisting.

  Note: Religion is a form of resisting, people use religion as a bases to resist each other, and do not truthfully know and understand why. (See section on Pride)

  A maintenance supervisor where I worked was all up in arms one day when I walked into his office and spoke his name to ask a question, he flared up and became very emotional and said, if one more person calls my name I am going to kill someone. I politely said what do you want one to call you and he said anything except my name, he explained to me how his name had been called 10 times in the last five minutes on the radio, so I tactfully called him something that made him laugh and his stress levels immediately dissipated. As I walked out of his office I realized, that he should have surrendered to the fact that part of his job, is to take peoples request, and answer their questions pertaining to his job. Instead of resisting his job and accepting the pressure that comes with it, his stress levels would have not raised. I could see in fact that he was resisting the very job that he was assigned to.

There are those that always look as if they are miserable and unhappy, or their world just fell in on them, when you speak to them, the tone in their voice and their responses are both angry and negative in nature. These types of people always complain and feel that they are not appreiated, do too much or are doing someone else’s work or responsibilities, they look like they have just been baptized in lemon juisce, because of the twisted expressions on their face. If you talk to them, you will find they have a negative attitude in life, and always resist things in life in one form or another.

  Note: Is this you or somebody you know, do you want to change or want to encourage someone else to change. If so, in either case then good for you.

Some people that have a resisting nature, even admit to looking for a fight or argument in situations in life. Their responses and statements sound like this: I will give them a piece of my mind or they are going to hear from me, I will put my foot up their you know where.

These types tend to be disagreeable, and a lot of their decision making in life is with negative feelings and actions, it does not seem to take much to ruffle their feathers. They seem to carry a lot of stress. They tend to be disagreeable and have more stress in their life than normal, and seem to resist in life situations a lot more than normal. They also seem to be in denial about a lot of things in life and make excuses for their negative feelings or negative actions.

sssss 

We all have resisted in life and no one is an exception, we all need work to help us cope in stressful situations. People that resist a lot in life do not seem to think clearly or act rational, they make irrational decisions during anger of  the heat of the moment. We are all guilty of this at some point in life.

People that have anger problems have them simply because they resist too much, watch them and take notice. The more they resist in life the greater their problems become in life as life goes on for them.

Coincidently while I was writing this thought I was at work, and there is an electrician that fits this profile, he is always negative and complaining about something. I was speaking to a machine repairman named Gary that had worked with this electrician at a different place of employment before this employer. He said this electrician never used to be like that. We discussed how he always resists and how living life continually resisting has become part of his nature in life at this point. People that resist always seem to be angry and or frustrated people with a nature to resist always yelling or talk excessively loud to control a conversation.

So this constant resisting leads to anger to rage to physical negative actions. These type’s of people never seem to be at peace within themselves but always seem to be boiling inside. Surrender is the key to their problem, it will not come easy or overnight. Let’s hope that it does not take as long to recover from this nature as it took to get that way. It takes practice to become at peace with yourself and a lot of positive counseling. People that ignore a situation and simply walk away with an attitude are also resisting.

 If you want to change you will have to learn how and when to surrender, constant negative responses will make your life both negative and miserable.

Resisting brings negative responses and consequences, we must adjust our lives to surrender to certain things in life. The resisting part of our nature or the rebellion in us certainly causes us difficulties in life. We all have a good part of us and we all have a bad negative part of us.

  Note: I am a believer in the creation story but I must say this’ whether you believe  in creation or evolution or nothing at all, the examples and lessons in this book will still help you along in life. The reason I mention this creation point is to simply point out that we have two natures, one good one and one bad one and this is a fact no matter what you believe. So with that in mind I will try to explain our good nature and our bad nature in the section on pride.

 The question is: How do we come to the place in our lives to overcome our resisting nature or at least control it better to a certain extent?

 We must weigh the consequences of our resisting nature to find out when we should resist and when we should not resist.

                                 Negative resistance will cause negaetive responses.

Positive responses cause positive actions.

Some people learn how to control their inner nature, some people never learn how to control their inner nature. I think in part because they do not know how to and where to get the right help. Stop and look at yourself and your life, try and be honest  with no denial and do not hide or cover up your feelings and or pretend that it is not you. Honesty with yourself will get you a long way. If this is not you naturally then bless you, the world needs more people like you.

Let’s look at some of this negative nature:

    • -Do you find yourself in arguments frequently or more than others?
    • -Do you find yourself rubbing people the wrong way often?
    • -Do you find yourself frustrated a lot?
    • -Do you resist when you think someone is challenging your intelligence or your actions?
    • -Do you find that you get angy more than others?
    • -Do you always seem full of anxiety?
    • -Do you find yourself out of control more than others?
    • -Do you think you’re hot tempered?
    • -Do others tell you that you are too negative?
    • -Do you find yourself too disagreeable?
    • -Do you think you are too negative?
    • -Do you feel your emotions heighten more than others or unnecessarily?
  • -Do you find that others try to avoid you?

If you can answer yes to some or all of these and similar question on your life then you may be out of control, you need to reshape your life. Many people have died , been killed or injured by friends, family or foe because of out of control emotions or negative resistance caused by frustarion.

You may want to ask yourself these questions:

    • Am I resisting?
    • Is it necessary or worth it to resist all the time?
  • What will the consequences be if I resist?

The key words that brought you to that place of negativity in your life is resist or rebellion by frustrations, which leads to stress which can lead to all other feelings and problems such as: depression, anger, frustration, hate, war, stress, murder, prejudice, pride and destruction of people and property.

Children should be taught at early ages the dangers of resisting in negative ways to prevent them from going out of control in life, some adults also need to be counseled in these areas of their life.

Since I have written so much on negative resistance I must mention positive resistance, positive resistance is a good thing in the proper setting. Positive resistance brings on heightened levels of inner strength and self satisfaction.

Mahatma Gandhi resisted with such a positive passive force that he won the freedom of India from under the British thumb and gave India back to their people.

Martin Luther King resisted with such a positive passive force he changed civil rights forever.

 Some people resist bad negative feeling and actions all their life.

I must tell you this story because I was so greatly impressed by this one man, I continue to marvel to this very day about this man and he has been dead for many years now. This man was my mother’s father, he lived 93 years and never had an argument or a fight with anyone and that includes his wife. He never laid a hand on any human. This is a perfect example of someone who all their life resisted negative actions, I wish I could make that boast but unfortunately I can’t. The point is if you resist often and long enough it will become part of your nature, the choice is yours to choose whether you resist in a positive way or a negative way.

  When someone says something to you that ruffles your feathers and you bite your tongue and walk away saying nothing that is a positive resistance. You saved yourself from an argument and protected your stress levels. When you were a child and resisted going out to play and stayed in to do your homework that was positive resisting. When you drive down the street and obey the rules of the road and are a courteous driver that is positive

resistance, you are in fact resisting your negative inner person that breaks rules, is impolite and sometimes has road rage.

Every time you do what is right or just you are resisting the negative nature in the humans makeup in a positive way. You are resisting the nature that is in man that wants to rebel and we all have it to a certain degree. This list could go on and on but you can get a better understanding in the section called surrender.

Just remember this, giving in to your bad or rebellious nature if you continue to feed it, in fact in time becomes more rebellious in your life.

Final note: Most normal people that are laid back in life do not resist negativity in their life, they seem to be more at peace with themselves. They are laid back mostly because they do not rush, take their time are not generally argumentative and easy to talk too. These type of people do not normally resist in society, are not law breakers and not trouble makers, they have found the secret of surrender.(see section on surrender)

Remember always, that any situation in life that will cause you stress because of your resisting, it is not worth the trouble to resist. Most of the time it is just small things that can wait or do not matter anyway, what ever you do try and preserve your peace of mind and you will find life more enjoyable and fulfilling.

                                             Surrender

Surrender: (1) Give up control or possession of, especially under compulsion or demand from another. (2) Give oneself up, stop resisting, give into an emotion.

A– What is surrender? (I will use this word surrender all through this book.)

B– Why should we surrender to certain things or ideas?

C– How can surrender help us?

Php 2:8  And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Note: I can say with all honesty that my faith and learning from my faith and life’s experience have taught me the meaning and value of surrender. But surrender can be taught to anyone of any faith or to them that have no faith at all by the lessons in this book or lessons learned in life.

  Note: (special truth) a heart that has learned how to surrender in life is a heart and mind that is at peace.

A: What is surrender?

1. Surrender could be by force.

    • An army that is surrounded with no hope of winning is forced to    surrender.
    • The police have caught the crook mentioned in the section on resisting.   They surround him and literally force him to the ground and cuff him, he  has been forced to surrender.
    • You go fishing and a storm blows in with rain, lightning and thunder, you are forced by an act of nature to surrender up your fishing day.
  • Your daughter Sally is told to clean her room but instead heads outside, you catch her on the way out the door and march her right back to her room. She is told that she cannot go outside or play with her friends until her room is cleaned, by your demand she is forced to clean her room or face the consequences. She is forced to surrender to your demands.

There are many examples of force, they could be physical or mental. Force is always against your will, your demands or your way of life in some form.

2. Surrender could be by submission:

    • You get into a fist fight and you are losing miserably, you submit to being on the losing end and call the fight off. You have submitted to lose and surrender.
    • Mom tells you to knuckle down and get better grades in school even though you’re a B+, you love and respect your mother and her better judgment so you try harder and get an A+. You have submitted and surrendered to your mother’s better judgment and excelled.
    • When you finish your schooling and graduate with a diploma, degree or trade certificate what you have done is surrendered completely to the fact that you will finish your schooling and get a career. You have submitted (Surrendered your thoughts)to completing your schooling.
    • People that follow the rules and authority in society and life with no trouble have in fact got their rebellious nature under control for the most part, they have learned to surrender by submission in life. They are those that submit to life and seem to be at ease in life.
  • Husbands and wives that submit to each other in life generally seem to have a more productive stable marriage.

3. Surrender could be by giving in:

    • When Sally comes to you and asks for something that you’re not quite ready to give her and she becomes persistent, persuasive and convincing, you finally let her have her request because she convinced you. You have just given in.
    • When David Ben Guiron went to the United Nations in the 1948 and persuaded the leaders of the free world that the Jewish people should have their country back, the leaders at that time gave in to his request and the nation of Israel was formed.
    • When ever there is a vote on a certain local states or on national government issues the people make their voice heard by a majority vote, the government involved gives in to the will of the people
  • Giving in is simply allowing a certain request or action to be granted or permitted.

4. Surrender could be by giving up:

    • Sally tried 5 times without success to learn how to swim and her mom paid 5 different instructors to try and train Sally, finally after the fifth try Sally decided she would never try again to learn to swim and her mom agreed. Sally and her mom both gave up on teaching Sally to swim.
  • When a certain country dropped a nuclear bomb on an enemy country during the Second World War, the enemy country gave up to defeat and surrendered unconditionally.

  Some things in life we should give up on and other things we should never give up on. (Example: family)

5. Surrender could be by giving up yourself:

    • Mother Teresa a catholic nun gave up herself and life to serving others.
    • When a wife surrenders to her husband or vice versa to their passionate desires they have given up of themselves.
    • When a parent gives up all their free time to their children with sports or some other activity, they have surrendered up of themselves and their free time to their children.
    • When a person chooses to become a priest or nun they have given up of themselves to serve their church.
  • When someone risk or looses their life to save another they have given up of themselves.

6. Surrender could be giving up your emotions:

  Note: This could be a positive action or a negative action. Our emotions play a very important role in our daily lives and we must learn how to surrender to positive emotions and not negative emotions that can lead to negative actions.

When you go to your place of worship and surrender up your emotions to praise and worship this is a positive action because most people find solace in praise and worship and it brings them peace.

When you get into an argument and your emotions are heightened and your anger levels raise this is a negative emotional action.

    • When you mom takes care and pride in cooking and serving a fine meal for your family these are positive emotional actions on her part.
  • When you dad had a bad day at work or even in general and come home full of anger and emotions and take your frustrations out on your wife or children this is a negative emotional action.

7. Surrender could be by collusion or persuasion:

Collusion: a secret agreement for some wrong purpose, this could be by trickery or in willingness of the heart.

  • When you are willing to do something by collusion that is wrong and you surrender to the fact that you are going to participate in this wrong doing you are feeding your negative rebellious nature. Surrender yourself to doing good and loving people with respect and honor, in this you will keep your inner peace because your feeding your positive nature.

Persuasion: to cause a person to do something by urging, arguing etc…

    • If you persuade someone to do something make sure it involves kindness or goodness and by all means do it with genuine honesty and truthfulness of your heart. Be careful in what you do to persuade a child, whatever you teach them will affect their lives. If it is positive then it will affect them in a positive way, if it is negative it will affect them in a negative way.
  • If you want to persuade someone of something that is good make sure it is tested and proven, there have been many troubling and bad ideas that have persuaded people to do strange or destructive things.

Examples: Jim Jones, Peoples Temple Guyana South America 1978, 914 American followers perish. Joseph Di Mambro, Order of the Solar Temple, Quebec Canada 1997, 74 followers perish. Marshall Applewhite, Heaven Gate, San Diego California 1997, 39 followers perish. David Koresh, Branch Davidians, Waco Texas 1993, 82 followers perish. These people all died in mass suicide because they were persuaded to do something very negative and wrong and did not test or prove what was taught to them. Here are 1109 shinning examples of good intensions gone wrong by bad inspirations.

Remember when someone has done something positive or negative it’s because they have either surrendered to their good nature or surrendered to their rebellious nature either by trusting good or trusting through deception.

B. Why should we surrender to certain things and or ideas?

If you are looking for peace and joy then learn to surrender to that which brings peace and joy. Any resisting situation that causes negative inner feelings and or emotions is not the time to resist, let the situation go for the present time or completely walk away. No argument is worth sacrificing your inner peace, even if you are right it is not worth your inner peace. If you are right time and life will vindicate your argument and then you can hold your head up high at that point. What your doing if you learn and apply these lessons on surrender is how to surrendering up your negative emotions for your inner peace. Some things are not worth fighting over or being stressed about, sometimes it is better to surrender to lose and keep your inner peace. It might just be easier to walk away and forget it, we can’t win every battle in our daily lives, but we can will the battle of inner peace through good choices in life.

Surrender relieves stress, resisting causes stress: Stress is caused simply because we are made of good and evil, our rebellious nature causes conflicts inside us and brings about stress. By surrendering to positive emotions and actions it brings positive inner healing. (See section on pride)

We by nature and creation were made to be good because we were made in god’s image. The evil that is present and in us is in fact in conflict with the good. This conflict brings about stress and your two natures oppose each other. It does not matter if you believe in creation or not to take notice of human’s two different natures, one good one bad.

 When ever we have to do something we don’t want to do our first response is an emotional one,  like,  I surely do not want to do this, and we then feel our stress levels rise. The next time you are in similar situation surrender your heart and emotions to the fact that you must accept this task at hand no matter how hard or easy it may be. Once you have truly in your heart and mind accepted and surrendered your stress levels immediately go down.

Perfect Surrender is an amazing inner force, to change you have to constantly accept and surrender.

    • Surrender is one of the most amazing things if a person can come to understand what it can do if they can get a handle on it.
    • Surrender not only stops wars in the world but can also stop the raging war within us.
  • Surrender includes giving up and giving in, you must do both to succeed. Asses the situation and tell yourself, I can’t win this one today or I can’t win right now. Always remember yesterday’s troubles and tomorrows burdens will not win your war today but only weigh you down today with despair and depression, this will destroy your tomorrow. Let yesterday and tomorrows pressures go, surrender to today’s battles and if you can’t win today accept that this battle is lost and you have other things in your life that are just as important. It is hard to see the importance of other things in life when you have a battle raging inside you, when you are carrying yesterdays loses and tomorrows burdens and the stress associated with them. This is why surrender is so important, it will free our mind and emotions and motivates us to focus on the other important things of today.

Don’t let the negative emotions of things in and around your life overcome or overwhelm you. Stop and take a good look at the situation and make some wise decisions and ask yourself a few questions before you proceed:

1. Can I win this one?

2. Should I let it go?

3. Can it wait and be fixed later?

4. Should I get help with this one?

5. Should I compromise?

6. Am I sure I am right about this?

7. Am I wrong this time?

8. Am I making a mistake here?

By focusing all your energy on things you cannot change or cannot fix it destroys your inner person and sends you deeper into despair and depression, I hope you can see the importance of surrendering to the right and positive and personally constructive things in life.

All the negative we carry from the past and the worry of tomorrow cannot help us today, we can take lessons from our own and others life histories and apply the benefit of hindsight and the lessons we learn in a constructive way to help us today and plan and change tomorrow. Yesterday and tomorrow will not help us today but only burden us greater and increase this stress and despair. Live for today and make  the most of each and every day.

Surrender to today and fix what you can today and be satisfied with today’s

accomplishments even if it is only one small step or action in yourlife.

C. How can surrender help us? (In more ways than you can imagine)

  If you worry yourself to the point that you’re worn out and carry all this despair how is it going to help you? If you die in the night all that worry and despair was in vain, if you wake tomorrow all the worries you had yesterday would still be in vain because you brought yesterdays troubles into the next day along with it’s stress and nothing changed. This is why making a change today by surrendering your inner thoughts and emotions can free your mind and motivate you to face tomorrow. Remember all that you worry you are doing will  steals from your quality of life and destroys your plans and aspirations.

By surrendering your mind and heart it can dispel thoughts of despair which turns to depression and sometimes suicide, people that look at the whole negative picture at once can get overwhelmed and have self destructive thoughts. Instead of looking at the whole picture with negativity look at the accumulative effects of each thing one by one and the positive things even if they are and seem small. Tackle them one by one, once this is done you began to get a vision in your mind of the positive end product your trying to accomplish or wanted to accomplish.

Ever heard the expression “the journey of 1000 miles begins with the first step”. When you decide you are going to surrender to positive change you begin to reprogram your thinking by setting your mind on a vision you may have in life or something you want to accomplish, by  doing this                          you can fill your mind and heart with positive energy instead of negative energy. It takes just as much inner strength to rise in life as it does to fall, the only difference is positive goes up and negative brings you down. Think of how much energy you spent thinking negatively, now reverse that same thinking energy to positive thoughts and build your inner person up instead of tearing it down.

You say” it is easier said than done”, and you say “my problems are too great and you don’t understand”. I say your negative thinking is too great and that affects your understanding of what is the right thing to do and your decision making. Yes it is easy to tell someone to change and surrender but you must start somewhere or you will surely destroy your mind and your life. I hope there is something in this book that will give you that positive spark to change and be happy and at peace with yourself. And to you that are up and seem to be on top of life, a soft kind word or some positive encouragement to those that struggle with negative thoughts and actions will go a long way.

The first step to accomplishing total perfect surrender is to overcome or get past your denial, if you deny you have a problem (and we all do) then you cannot be helped. Your problems can be different or few or many, no matter what they are acknowledge that you have them or ask someone you love and trust to tell you about some problems you have that you are not aware in your self  or see in yourself.

    • Surrender is a key to accepting the unacceptable, when you learn that people and situations are different from yours and accept everyone on their terms then you have surrendered to acceptance. I have seen some people turn their nose up at someone that is disfigured, crippled, unattractive or less fortunate than them and this is not acceptable. We must learn how to accept everyone in every situation, be helpful not a hindrance.
  • Surrender is the key to keeping the peace by surrendering to peace and not fighting or arguing. This is a lesson every person should learn, especially the world leaders. Peace with your neighbor, co-worker and people in general is an amazing force and tool in life. Learning about harmonizing with others is a joyous experience.

When a child does not do well in school it is because he or she have not surrendered to the fact that he or she must complete school to have a successful future, he or she is resisting in their school work or resisting their Teacher or resisting in some sort of way that causes them to be a failure, you must discover why they are resisting. This should not be. Children must be taught at an early age how to surrender in life to be successful in all aspects of life.

You must surrender by giving in and giving up to be successful, you must reach down into your heart, soul and mind to have perfect surrender. By constantly confessing that you have surrendered out of your heart, every time you see something, do something or think something that reminds you of why you’re not at peace with yourself and why you need to surrender then confess it and keep telling yourself that you will surrendered. Don’t give up or in, if you have faith then confess to God. If you don’t believe then remind yourself and confess to yourself or someone you trust.

What you are in fact doing is purging your thoughts and mind of the thing that caused you stress, be intensively aware of what you’re trying to accomplish. There will be distractions that will come and try to draw your attention away from what your trying to surrender to in life, but don’t give up or in keep on surrendering and that desire to change and you will succeed.

Inner peace comes with acts of kindness and goodness. Have you ever done something good or something for someone and felt good after you have done it, by continuously surrendering to good and what is right you will become a better and righteous person and be more at peace with yourself. You have to decide when you should surrender to something. It should be at all times in your decisions to keep your inner peace. The key to knowing what to surrender too, is,  if it is good, just, honest or righteous than that is when to surrendered, when you give into your good nature it brings peace and quiet to your soul. There is a battle raging inside you and that battle is between your good nature and your evil nature. To win you must give in to your good nature.

One last thought before I go to my final note:

You cannot make or force someone else to surrender against their will to your will, not by guns, fist, and war or in any form. You cannot cause them to surrender by beating them into submission, all you have done is hurt someone needlessly. There body may surrender to escape your attack but their mind and heart will not surrender to you. (Children and teens are good at this game of saying yes to you when facing you but when you are not present they are doing just the opposite.)

If a heart has not surrendered willingly then it is not perfect surrender by self submission, surrender is a self commitment.

Final note: If you’re going to resist in life resist what is wrong or evil and surrender yourself to truth, righteousness, justice, honesty and peace. In this you will make a difference in your life, if you have a resisting nature then turn it around and resist the evil of the world. If you think the world needs to change then change yourself and pass on to others what you have learned and changed in your life.  When situation negative and or positive come your way in life deal with them a soon as possible. Do not let the pressures of life mount up against you by doing nothing or procrastinating, deal with them before you become overwhelmed by the pressures of them.  Many problems will face you before you die but the way you deal with them will dictate the quality of your inner peace. You may not change or get the problem right but at least your inner peace is in tack.  Fight the good fight and Good Luck!

May the God of creation and Abraham lead you to the peace of the promise made to Abraham and you find him that made that promise and blessing to all nations through Abraham by faith.
