I've loved Rohr's quote from the time I first read it, probably because I had had a great awakening when I realized that surrender is acceptance...only acceptance comes in more comfortable clothes. Until then, to me, surrender meant You Lose...thus to be avoided at all costs.
The truth of the quote is a good basis for the necessary change in our thinking we must make from reasoning to intuitive. That is the change we make to loose it and let it go, i.e., to surrender our wants, our egoic goals in exchange for our desire that God's will be done within us, without us.
It is not our rational mind that brings us the peace that passes understanding. It is our contemplative mind that allows us to feel in our heart, our soul, our body and our bones that we really are a beloved son or a beloved daughter, which allows God to be our Father and Mother.
It is that realization that cements our belief that God can and will intervene in our life in our behalf.
Thank you.
