Quotes on Surrender

"The cause of the weakness of your Christian life is that you want to work it out partly, and then have God help you. That cannot be. You must come to be utterly helpless, to let God work. He will work gloriously." ~ Andrew Murray

"To die to self, or to come from under its power, is not and cannot be done by any active resistance we can make against it OR by our own power of nature. The one true way of dying to self is the way of patience, meekness, humility, surrender and resignation to God." ~ Andrew Murray

"We cannot please God by what we do for Him in our own human effort, we can only please Him by surrendering and letting Him work in and through our lives." ~ John Mulinde

"We must be careful not to choose, but to let God's Holy Spirit manage our lives; not to smooth down and explain away, but to stir up the gift and allow God's Spirit to disturb us and disturb us and disturb us until we yield and yield and yield and the possibility in God's mind for us becomes an established fact in our lives, with the rivers in evidence meeting the need of a dying world." ~ Smith Wigglesworth.
