Surrender Means

Surrendering to God's will does not mean that we kill off our desires.
Desire is not wrong or sinful. It just needs to be directed.
In fact, we want to pursue God's will with great intensity and passion.
A better phase for surrendering or obeying God's will can be "As you wish" or more precisely "As God's wish".
We serve Him as he wishes. This gives a sense of willingness and a motivation of love.

So surrender does not just mean giving up of oneself but of adopting and following another - the one we surrender to. It is the transfer of our Lordship, from self to Jesus.
