Acceptance. Such a peaceful word. It even sounds comforting.
Little known fact: Acceptance is another, albeit prettier, word for surrender.
EEK!
Face it, surrender is not, repeat not, pretty much less sought-for.
In the material world, or to our reasoning mind, surrender means loser; more explicitly, if I surrender, I am a loser, something to be avoided...no more questions, end of story.
Here lives the difference between what we think and what our living experience proves: We think surrender is to be avoided, yet we live surrender as we walk the rugged and awe-inspiring road to a Power greater than our thinking...to peace of mind...to love and laughter...to God.
Acceptance gives God the courtesy of letting him go first.
Thank you.
