I give up

If I had one, I’d hoist a white flag. Because, I give up. I surrender.

There are those all around — competitors, coworkers, “friends” and family – who stand ready to attack my reputation, credibility and honor. Some of it is justified, Some of it is not.

I look at all the energy I’ve expended, trying to keep the mockers at bay. The mental and physical things I’ve had to do to defend my ground has been more than what it took to gain it. It’s exhausting.

So, in this battle, I’ve decided on a new plan. Surrender to Jesus.

This strategy puts all of the confrontations, all of the jockeying for attention and all of the pressure on His back. Suddenly, all of my problems become His.

A surrendered life may not bring me fame or fortune, but it will bring me peace and freedom.

The irony is that if I don’t surrender now, I’ll eventually surrender to someone or something else and that battle ends in defeat.
