What happens when you throw yourself in Jesus' arms?

Corrie ten Boom, a Dutch Christian, who hid Jews in her home during World War II and was eventually arrested and imprisoned in a concentration camp by the Nazis, recognized (God's) love. Two decades after her release she gave hundreds of devotional messages via radio in the Netherlands. In one of them she says,"When you throw an empty bottle in an ocean, it will immediately fill with with water and be surrounded by ocean water. If you throw yourself in Jesus' arms in complete surrender, you will be filled and surrounded by an ocean of God's love."
