Surrender to faith, not fate.


When you practice faith, you surrender to God's will, not circumstance. You let go of your need to have total control, but you don't let go of your dreams.

With faith, you don't sit back and let life happen to you. You don't resign yourself to the current state of things. You don't give up, shut down or retreat.

Instead, you engage life and actively move forward with joy and optimism. You approach each day with anticipation. You believe completely that God will bring into your life what is best for you.

When you surrender to fate, you merely hope for the best. You hope that your luck will change.

But faith does not require hope. With faith, you know that God will work wonders in your life. You have no doubt at all. With faith, you surrender completely to the benevolence of our loving God.
