Conforming to Christlikeness is a battle! My will, unless crucified, is in constant conflict with God''s will.

Coupled with the inner transformation of the Holy Spirit, every believer holds the responsibility to conform to Christlikeness.

These concise daily devotions encourage such a conforming encounter. Weaving insights from both Old and New Testaments, Stevens inspires readers to hear the echoes of Jesus'' call to follow and imitate Him-to move beyond mere reading to life application where they ignite a more intimate walk with God and closer resemblance of Jesus.

EVERY PERSON IS AS SURRENDERED TO GOD AS HE OR SHE CHOOSES TO BE

Are you surrendered or still struggling? Do you desire spiritual victory or defeat?

Surrender is the personal acknowledgment of God''s rightful claim on everything-His undisputed occupancy in, and possession of, our hearts and lives. Struggling means the inner war still rages. Self still competes for the throne of life. Selfish desires, willful passions, and even unyielded ambitions are signs of struggling. But surrender declares the war is over. That happens when Self raises the flag of truce and fully yields the throne to God.

• We serve who we choose to obey (Romans 6:16)

• Yielding to God positions us for righteous, holy living (Romans 6:19)

• Obedience is the evidence of surrender (Luke 6:40)

• Surrender''s ultimate benefit is hearing Jesus say, "Well done, faithful servant."

These concise daily devotions encourage such a surrendered heart and mind. More than just reading them daily, meditate on them. Apply them to your life. Allow them to kindle a deeper desire of surrender, obedience, and closer intimacy with God. Above all else, be encouraged to willingly and gratefully surrender to God''s "good and acceptable and perfect will" (Romans 12:2).

Enjoy a 30-day journey of developing the faith to yield everything to God with a humble and loving heart.
