Surrender Your Desires

The verses of Matthew 8:18-22 (The Cost of Following Jesus) has the Lord asking us to be Disciples of Christ during our time on earth. This comes at a cost with our natural human instincts. The Lord asks for us to surrender our desires for security, affection, and control. He also asks that we let go of our personal desire to change what we cannot. Just as Jesus said the Son of Man has no place to lay his head, we are being asked to do the same as Disciples of Christ. We are told to put our faith in the Lord and that by following in his footsteps he will provide guidance, strength, courage, and wisdom. It is when we can surrender our human desires that the transformation in spirituality begins to deepen and we begin a mystical journey toward divine union with the Lord.
