Spiritual Surrender Keeps Me In The Flow Of Life.
Resisting the events of my life is like swimming against a strong current. No matter how much I try, I cannot overtake the force of the water. But when I swim with the current, I am borne effortlessly upon it. Spiritual surrender works much the same way. When I resist the circumstances of my life, when I fight against what is happening, I am swimming upstream. But when I accept what is happening, I am surrendering to the flow of life. I may still work toward changing undesirable situations, but I do so from a place of acceptance, not resistance. No longer fighting, I give myself over to the power of God. I need not rely solely on my power, will, and effort. I surrender to God within me and ride life’s currents with ease.
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.—Proverbs 3:6
