Excuses come easy, don’t they? We make them with our diets, our deadlines, and yes, even with God. But in the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus didn’t make excuses, He made a choice. In the middle of crushing sorrow, He said, “Not my will, but Yours be done.” If the Son of God wrestled with surrender, then of course we will too but let’s not forget, on the other side of His surrender was resurrection. And the same is true for us — the life you long for is found not in control, but in surrender.
Scripture: Mark 14:26-50
