If I am unsuccessful in accepting things that I cannot change, it is time to surrender to my Christ self. Surrendering is not quitting or giving up; rather, it is setting aside my own ego and relying upon Spirit within for peace of mind.
Surrendering allows me to change from a defensive stance to an open-minded, creative willingness. I am receptive to divine ideas and free to embrace new attitudes and perspectives. Divine life surges forth, like welcomed rain on dry soil. New sprouts of possibility appear where frustration once stifled growth. Tender ideas, nurtured by faith, are encouraged to grow and yield an abundance of good. I give thanks that divine love prevails in my life.
Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me.—John 15:4
