DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Andrew Murray emphasizes that God desires to bless us beyond our
expectations, but this requires our complete surrender to Him. He
illustrates that just as nature is fully surrendered to God's will, so
too must we be if we wish to receive His blessings. Murray argues that
God, being the source of all goodness and life, cannot work through us
unless we are wholly yielded to Him. The lack of total surrender is what
hinders God's work in our lives, and He calls us to give ourselves
entirely to Him. Ultimately, God delights in sharing His life and
blessings with those who are fully prepared to receive Him.

God Expects Your Surrender Yes, it has its foundation in the very nature
of God God cannot do otherwise. Who is God? He is the Fountain of life,
the only Source of existence and power and goodness, and throughout the
universe there is nothing good but what God works, God has created the
sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the flowers, and the trees, and
the grass; and are they not all absolutely surrendered to God? Do they
not allow God to work in them just what He pleases? When God clothes the
lily with its beauty, is it not yielded up, surrendered, given over to
God as He works in it its beauty? And God's redeemed children, oh, can
you think that God can work His work if there is only half or a part of
them surrendered?

God cannot do it.

God is life, and love, and blessing, and power, and infinite beauty, and
God delights to communicate Himself to every child who is prepared to
receive Him; but ah! this one lack of absolute surrender is just the
thing that hinders God. And now He comes, and as God, He claims it.
