Place yourself in the middle of the stream of power and wisdom which flows into your life. Then, without effort you are impelled to truth and to perfect contentment. This involves a decision. Paul Tillich said, Decision is risk rooted in the courage to be free. Another writer says, I begin my day with a strong assertion that I choose to accept the reality of my life.
Spiritual maturity lies in the readiness to let go of everything.
This statement takes us back to the rabbinical saying about beginning life with a clenched fist and ending it with an open hand. As we mature spiritually, we loosen our grip on everything in our lives and finally on life itself. Jesus taught us that when we pray, we are to let go of our own desires and illusions and let God work His will in our lives. May we go forth today ready to let go of our agenda and let God lead us in His service. All rights reserved.
