Oh, it’s been almost two years now since we used Surrender as our freewrite prompt. Five minute Friday is all about a five-minute freewrite on a word prompt provided for us by Miss Kate. Join us won’t you? It’s a great time for encouragement and refreshment.

Surrender
To make a choice to give way To yield to a stronger or smarter power. To capitulate knowing that sometimes It's time to raise the white flag. Let's conceded defeat shall we? Knowing it's time to throw in the towel. Because it's ever so true We don't know all the answers. Because it's ever so true, We cannot do it all. There is someone stronger and mightier. Who asks a simple thing of us. Deny ourselves. To back down from what we want. We need to submit to a duty We might not have asked for. A cross to bear is what we given. A cross to carry as we follow. If we do this surrender thing, If we submit to this Lord Jesus. An interesting thing happens. The life that we give up. The life that we lose For HIS sake. That lost life Becomes a life that we find. So take a moment Take a lifetime. Surrender it. Find a life worth living.

Thank you Andrew
Oh! That life worth living! Thank you for the reminder this morning dear friend, that the life worth living is the surrendered one where HE is in control!
It was interesting trying to piece together all the thoughts I had. I’m glad it worked.
Oh Annette, this is one of my favorite-est of your poems. There is so much truth and hope and life in your words.
I liked this:
There is someone stronger and mightier.
Who asks a simple thing of us.
Deny ourselves.
To back down from what we want.
When we surrender, we find life. So well said!
Oh Thank You…..My heart is grinning
