they will run and not grow weary;
they will walk and not be faint.

Submission / Surrender is of me and of him. Becoming like Christ.

John 3:30 He must increase; I must decrease.

2 Cor. 3:17-18 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18And we all, who with unveiled faces reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory…

Greek Metamorphoumetha – “Transform or change after being with”

1) SPIRIT … transformed …

2) SOUL … transformed …

SURRENDER is the cocoon of SANCTIFICATION.

2. SUBMISSION God’s will above my own
