Surrender

"We were designed to worship something, and when we fail to worship God, we create gods (idols) to surrender ourselves to. E. Stanley Jones said, “If you don’t surrender to Christ, you surrender to chaos.” You’re free to choose what you surrender to, but you’re not free from the consequences of that choice: “So give yourselves completely to God” (James 4:7 NCV)."

-From the daily devotional I read from Rick Warren. It caught me at the right moment and meant a great deal to me, I thought I better share it in case it could mean a great deal to someone else:)! Love you all!
