I
give thanks that divine love prevails in my life.
If
I am unsuccessful in accepting things that I cannot change, it is time
to surrender to my Divine self. Surrendering is not quitting or giving
up; rather, it is setting aside my own ego and relying upon Spirit
within for peace of mind. Surrendering allows me to change from a
defensive stance to an open-minded, creative willingness. I am receptive
to divine ideas and free to embrace new attitudes and perspectives.
Divine life surges forth, like welcomed rain on dry soil. New sprouts of
possibility appear where frustration once stifled growth. Tender ideas,
nurtured by faith, are encouraged to grow and yield an abundance of
good. I give thanks that divine love prevails in my life. I may at times
think of surrender as an act of weakness, a sign of giving up.
Surrender can also be my greatest strength, for it is in surrendering
that I let go and let God. I surrender, knowing divine order is at work
in all circumstances. I open my heart to the Universe, receptive to my
highest good. It is easy to get caught up in the demands of life,
believing I must perfectly orchestrate every detail to get the outcomes I
expect or think I need. I may find myself wallowing in stress and worry
if things don’t go the way I want. It is then I find my inner strength
and let go. Like a novice climber learning to release his or her grip
and rappel down the cliff side, I cannot yet feel solid ground beneath
my feet, but I know it is there. I trust in divine order; I am strong
enough to let go. I surrender and know that all is well.
Abide
in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself
unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in
me.—John 15:4
