I am of the opinion that acceptance is likely the most wanted-while-dreaded word in our little world. Even as we are begging God to be able to accept an unwanted condition in our life, our egoic mind is in charge.
The road to the place where God lives begins with complete surrender. Simply put, resistance keeps our wants before our need...me before he. We want acceptance, we need surrender. The secret about acceptance is when we accept the truth about that which we are resisting, that changes it.
Surrender has the justified rep of losing when, against all reason, it is by losing that we win. In losing our self-determined objective, our want, we accept God's perfect objective, our need.
Blinding flash...surrender is just another word for trading up.
It is by surrendering our wants, that we receive our need, God's will...before we can know what that is. There. Surrender's sliver of gold, or acceptance aborning.
Here's grace: All of this happens within us in a heartbeat...it just takes the reasoning mind longer to get the message.
Go beyond reason to love.
Thank you.
