I read a great phrase this morning, "surrender to gratitude." I sometimes read beautiful things, love them, then think, "What does that mean to me?" I did that this morning so I thought it through.
To surrender to gratitude to me is simply to learn the art of living a non-resistant life...a turned-over life...a turned-over-to-God life.
My first thought response to learning to live a non-resistant life was resistant...the good old, "Yes, but...," and "What about...?" There's always an exception to any spiritual principle in the reasoning mind world, the ego's playground. Spiritual principles take all power away from the ego-victory mind...all power, all glory, all control.
Of course, all is given back to us through the Power within...but what if nobody else knows? Where's the ego's edge in that? There. That's the ego's siren song.
It's amazing, scary, dumb, wonderful how long we will pass on spiritual peace just to answer the ego's siren song. I can't give a definite period of time because I still answer, but my lag time is getting shorter.
And I surrender to gratitude.
Thank You.
