Why does real surrender often happen in times of hardship?
Surrender in adversity
When you are knocked about from every side, no one stands with you and your own strength is gone, the surrender that happens then makes you blessed. High-level surrender has mostly come in adverse situations, disorder, scorn, insult and sorrow.
When you have been knocked about everywhere, no one is with you and your own strength is gone, the surrender that happens then makes you blessed.
