By Randy Hain, Integrated Catholic Life - Last week we looked at the connection between surrender and strength. There are many obstacles in the way of our trustful surrender to our Lord. But I found that when I put my pride aside and humbly surrender to His will, the Lord gives me strength and a sense of peace... Giving ourselves to Him, letting our old selves go and placing Him first will change everything. We will receive from Christ His grace, guidance and love which in turn will positively affect our relationships with our wives, children, friends and co-workers.
