Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to thee...
Surrender. To give up. To cease from fighting, rebelling, acting against. To relinquish one's rights, freedoms, liberties to another. To lay down arms. Everything. Holding nothing back.
With salvation comes surrender. Christ is not a commitment. He surrendered Heaven, surrendered freedom from pain, struggle, suffering. He surrendered perfection and put on humanity's sin on the cross; he surrendered His life for mine.
To follow the example of Christ is to follow a life of complete and total surrender to the will of the Father. It means all of me, every day, every hour, every moment, for the rest of my days.
