Christ is weeping freely
His prayers are marked by loud cries and tears
He make it very clear what he desires
"Yet not my will, your will be done"
He surrenders with desire
Making himself poor, he opens up to us the treasures of heaven
Buddha abandons his desire
Christ surrenders his will
It is no small difference
True surrender is not an easy way out
Surrender comes only after the night of wrestling
Only after we open our hearts to care deeply and give over our deepest desires to God
Freedom and beauty and rest that follow are among the greatest surprises
Key Phrase: Jesus surrendered with His desire still in tact
