Striving might change your behavior. But only surrender can transform your heart.
You can try harder, do more, check all the boxes— and still feel stuck, exhausted, or unchanged…I know this to be true because I lived in this place of striving for too long.
Striving forces change from the outside in. It’s surface-level behavior modification.
But surrender?
Surrender invites God to change us from the inside out. It’s more intentional and more intense but it’s the only way to experience true transformation which comes from the Lord.
“We are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.”
—2 Corinthians 3:18
Lay it down, let it go, and let Him form what your striving never could. #surrendertogod #christianencouragement #AutumnMontgomeryWrites #ISPFMK #christianmoms #heartchange #heartchangehomechange #letgoletgod
