Broke and Yielded

In my quiet time today I read this and it really made me think, " True surrender is not simply surrender of our external life but surrender of our will—and once that is done, surrender is complete. The greatest crisis we ever face is the surrender of our will. Yet God never forces a person’s will into surrender, and He never begs. He patiently waits until that person willingly yields to Him. And once that battle has been fought, it never needs to be fought again."


Once that is done surrender is complete, it will never be fought again,  I hummm....... which meant I was not sure, I look at my life and see areas needing surrender daily, when someone is walking in ways that are not good for them, we think ,well when God gets them they will stop, but this am I thought this through and through, on the part it never needs to be fought again, I grew up riding horses ( was LR's Rodeo Queen, even rode in parades and Rodeo at Barton, tee hee)  when you break a horse's will, it is broke you never have to do that again,  now this does not mean it will not buck, rare, nicker, throw its head, run from you, this means you have broke its will and it knows that you care for it, you will feed it, love it, groom it, ride it and it does not have to be afraid, the horse understands what a saddle is and a bit, it will do what you say now, sometimes it may take a quirt or spurs but it will obey, never again to be a wild buck, it yields its will to its owner, now its spirit is yielded to, BUT it still has personality, it will still try to do it's old ways, only to be corrected by its rider and made to mind once more, BUT it never goes back to before it was broke.  So I do agree with this, we yield our will to the Lord the day we ask Hm into our life to take over our life, to live our life in accordance to HIS will, we are broke, what ever came our way in life, we yielded and said help me, once that will has yielded it is broke, never to be fought again.  So what is the problem?????? It our personalty, our sin nature that still acts out:) to say it in a nice way, we buck, throw our head, kick up our feet, but when God speaks we yield again and again, we have been broke to HIS will in our life.  The Lord works on us minute by minute to help us be more like we desire to be, which is like Jesus.  One thing about Jesus, he was a quiet man, until He needed to be heard, then He set things straight, He was compassionate, He loved people, He loved doing His Father's work, He loved his family but yet had to walk his Journey alone, He knew when He needed to get alone and did, He knew when to correct people and sometimes it appeared rude, when He cleansed the temple He was angry with a Godly anger at what the people had said and done. Was He yielded, YES HE was, are you yielded to the Father's will in your life?  I am, does not make it easy sometimes, I almost bite my tongue off when I want to cuss some one out, I get angry,  you for sure get Linda Lou Rogers, everyone does this, this is life, its not always going to be peaceful and people will make you mad, but at the end of the day its you and the Lord and He quietly says, its ok, rest my child, we can work on this tomorrow,  because your will has and will forever be broke now you gently cry and yield to HIM, my not understand what's in HIS will, what is in His plan, so many times I ask Him why. One thing I now for sure, its so wonderful to have a fiend that loves me regardless of me, that gives me strength in the storm and peace, that always is there no matter what, I am broke but not always yielded:)
