TEN THOUSAND SURRENDERS TO MERCY

Mercy is a way to describe the mystery of forgiveness. More than a description of something God does now and then, it is who God is. -- Fr Richard Rohr, Daily Meditation, September 13, 2024

Blinding flash of the obvious: Mercy - give over, give up, give in

The words give over, give up, give in were given to me some time ago...out of nowhere with no instructions/directions or strings attached. I knew them for what there were...a package deal, for my benefit personally powerful only by constant use.

Without thought, I since have relied on them primarily (constant is dicey) as a reminder to my own self's wants. 

I knew when first they entered my consciousness that I had been handed the answer...the answer to any fear or self-determined objective that may enter my consciousness. The 4th dimension answer to any 3rd dimension wish or wonder.

Looking back, we see the foundation of trust being built...not by self but by the divine image within us that we slowly realize as truth.

And my quiet word, give over, give up, give in, sprouts wings...soaring ever deeper.

God’s love ...is written in the divine image within us. It’s given; it sits there....We do not attain anything by our own holiness but by ten thousand surrenders to mercy. -- Ibid.

Thank you.
