They can mean much the same thing. Only, yielding means recognizing something bigger and more powerful than you and giving way before it. Like the tree that bends in the wind.
I am laid open before my Master, there is nothing that I hide from him, nothing that doesn't belong to him, yet there is my very strong will that does not surrender, it yields. It belongs to him as surely as the rest of my being, yet it doesn't surrender. It doesn't give up.
I don't know why I'm contemplating these things other than I've read much about being surrendered to one's Master and as always, I began analyzing myself. I do that a lot.
