surrendering versus self-victimizing

surrendering to christ and self-victimizing oneself before christ are two very
different things, and that difference must be recognized. self-victimizing before christ is to
intentionally bear the punishment of suffering we cause one another. but to
surrender to christ is to open one's heart out to the world, ready and willing,
without a motive for self-advantage, to follow one's god-chosen path to helping
relieve that suffering -- to eventually reunite, as we might say, with god. surrendering to
christ means allowing the possibility -- the likeliness even -- that one is wrong,
such that eventually we might all endorse in the teleology that there may one day be no wrong.
