Surrendering to Jesus/God is Not Biblical

Ringo, you seem to be getting testy. My question all 'drama' aside, was whether surrendering something must have anything to do with slavery.I can only make a weak example; reversing the father/son thing.If I say I am a slave to my family's needs and desires, especially the children's, that would be a good thing. People do understand that this definitely requires self-sontrol, rather than letting them (kids) control me. The duties, however, one of which is nurturing the relationship itself, are of such an on-going and all encompassing nature that I can use the word 'serving' my family...or for that matter my community or other...and there is no negative reaction. Rather, someone who is devoted to a good cause is considered to have the uinderstanding of what is Important.So what I am saying, that this is a familial relationship, a surrender, a servitude, an understanding, and a situation that calls for leadership and self-control, all in one. It is more than following, it is being led...by the moment. That is what surrender comes down to for me, a rather necessitated loving bondage. The odd thing is that I am equating a feeling of serving God to serving my children, but that is the closest I can get.Now, I feel that I have said this before too, so this may be quitting time on this end!Edited by anastasia, : No reason given.Edited by anastasia, : No reason given.
