Part 1
Life gives.
Life asks.
And when, at last,
We are willing
To surrender whatever
Life may ask of us,
Excluding nothing --
Let alone our most
Familiar sense of self --
Then, for having died
To the fear of death
We are set free.
Part 2
To will is human, but to surrender it... is divine.
Part 3
Spiritual surrender is the result of understanding that what God has given, he asks for it back; not to take from us (our) life, but to give it more abundantly. In this Way, He polishes, perfects, and renews our life, so that it might better reflect, and reveal it as having always has been His Own.
Part 4
There is no ambition in God’s love; it wants for nothing because it lacks nothing. It doesn’t seek, so it is never frustrated with what comes to it. It has no motive, and so it is always innocent. This is a Peace that passes all understanding because it is the source of a Wisdom with neither beginning, nor ending.
