Surrendering to God is not passive resignation, fatalism, or an excuse for laziness. It is not accepting the status quo. It may mean the exact opposite: sacrificing your life in resistance to evil and injustice, or suffering in order to change what needs to be changed. God often calls surrendered people to do battle on his behalf. It not for cowards or doormats.

Surrendering is not putting your brain in neutral and giving up rational thinking. God would not waste the mind he gave you! God does not want robots to serve him. Surrendering is not repressing your personality. God wants to use your unique personality. Rather than being diminished, surrendering enhances your uniqueness.
 

Terjemahan: Menyerahkan diri kepada Tuhan bkn berhenti dan bersikap pasif, dan dipake jd alesan unt mjd males. Berserah kpd Tuhan bkn berarti tdk mengambil tanggung jawab tapi justru kebalikannya: melawan setiap kejahatan dan ketidakadilan, mau bayar harga unt mengubah apa yg perlu diubah. Tuhan seringkali memanggil org2 yg berserah kpdNya unt berperang demi namaNya, ini bkn unt org2 pengecut. Berserah kpt Tuhan bukan berarti tdk berpikir scr rasional. Tuhan tdk mau kamu membuang akal mu, Dia tdk mau robot2 yg melayani Dia. Berserah jg bkn berarti menekan kepribadianmu, justru Tuhan ingin memakai keunikanmu, Tuhan bisa meningkatkan kelebihanmu.
