Surrender
Love conquers all things; let us too surrender to Love.~Eclogues, by Virgil
Surrender is one of the most difficult things for human-beings to do while on this earth. Our egos are strong-willed and the lower nature finds it hardly imaginable that it could not be wise enough or strong enough to be the master of its own destiny. Sooner or later though, usually through some agonizing pain that befalls us, it is realized that, “Were it not for the Grace of God,” none of us could stand. It is also understood that if one desires to emerge from the infantile state of the ego, surrender to God, who is pure Love, is necessary for the maturation process for our souls. It takes enormous courage to admit to the frailties and pride of our lower nature, and the willingness to surrender to our Higher Power will be the beginning of a new life ahead. History has shown us that once a decision is made to turn away from such a life after experiencing it, the struggle that ensues is usually great since the lower nature and the Higher nature bring great conflict and thus a “House divided against itself, cannot stand.”
Surrender
In surrender to our Majesty, the Light that shines so bright,
We gain the strength, the wisdom and the power
To do more than what once we thought was right.
In surrender to our Great Divine, the Light that shines so bright,
We bring about a different dimension - a new understanding,
And all effort aforetime seems but faint memory left behind.
In surrender to our Lord, the Healer of all things,
We gain insight and understanding,
And heartfelt honesty begins.
In surrender to our Lord, the Healer of our minds,
We begin to comprehend the Greatest Mind,
The reality of the Divine.
In surrender to our Lord, the Healer of our hearts,
We make forgiveness possible,
Bringing healing even to the sorest hearts.
In surrender to our Lord, the Healer of our soul,
We gain courage to embrace all,
Realizing that duality is no more.
In surrender to our Lord, the Healer of our bodies,
Fear of death will have lost its power
As love and faith embrace His promise.
Nothing is more liberating than the willingness to surrender to The Creator, for His Forgiveness and Love bring a knowing that He is The One who truly is the Savior. The burdens of life need not be carried alone - ever - for “he will never leave us or forsake us.” Oh what comfort! I know it as my own.
