Making the jump from teaching to full-time authorship wasn’t easy, but it was a decision I felt the Lord asking me to make. I knew I was called to write full-time for years, but I didn’t know how to achieve that goal. Now that things are happening, I’ve wrestled with a deeper problem: How to continually surrender to God when a blank canvas is before you.
Surrendering to God is part of the Christian faith. We know this because countless times in Scripture remind us of our need to repent, turn from sin, and crucify our selfish desires so that we may be attuned to the will of God. Surrender isn’t just a common struggle people face when it comes to fully trusting God, but as they grow and develop in their walk with Him.
While many of us would like surrender to be a one-and-done phenomenon, it just isn’t possible. Surrender is something required day after day. It’s a continual, progressive, and life-long pursuit of chipping away at the self until all that’s left is Christ and His desires for us.
