Realize that when you put your faith in Jesus Christ, there can be no holding back. Your will must hand God its letter of resignation. For unless you submit to God's will in everything, you are not submitting to Him in anything. Think about it. If you only follow God's will when it happens to correspond to your own will, then you never have to surrender at all. You are simply asking God to endorse your own agenda as often as He can. But if you want new life in Christ, you must adopt God's agenda and throw away your own.

A woman was talking to her friends about her husband who had passed away.

When her husband was on his death bed, he told her that he had three
envelopes in his desk drawer that would "take care" of all of the
arrangements.

Well, he died shortly thereafter, so the wife opened the drawer and there
were 3 envelopes just like he said.

One the first envelope it said "for the casket". There was $5,000.00 in
the envelope, so she bought him a very nice casket.

The second envelope said "for the expenses" and had $4,000.00 in it so she
paid all the bills from the funeral.

The third envelope said "for the stone" and had $3,000.00 in it. She then
held her hand out to her friends and said, "Isn't it Beautiful!!!"
