"That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause for shame, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day" ~2 Timothy 1:12, NIV
Paul, after changing ways on the road to Damascus, was one of the most fantastic apostles in the Bible. He gave everything to God's cause, and as he tells Timothy in the verse above, he suffered for it.
But he didn't mind, because he trusted that God was able to guard his soul, his life, that which he had entrusted unto God. What's a little struggle in light of eternity?
When we give God our will, He takes it and gives back so much more: He gives us fulfillment, purpose, His love. We don't have to be afraid of surrendering ourselves: just believe He is good and that His plan is great.
