Michael Brennan Reading—Surrender—Seattle Unity—03-11-2018 [Zck8K9kvp8M]
— Michael Brennan offers a reading of "Surrender" by Lila Herrmann. Surrender By Lila Herrmann As I contemplate the life of Jesus, I recognize his strength is my strength, his life is my life, his power is my power. I may at times think of surrender as an act of weakness, a sign of giving up. Surrender can also be my greatest strength, for it is in surrendering that I let go and let God. I surrender, knowing divine order is at work in all circumstances. I open my heart to the Universe, receptive to my highest good. It is easy to get caught up in the demands of life, believing I must perfectly orchestrate every detail to get the outcomes I expect or think I need. I may find myself wallowing in stress and worry if things don’t go the way I want. It is then I find my inner strength and let go. Like a novice climber learning to release his or her grip and rappel down the cliff-side, I cannot yet feel solid ground beneath my feet, but I know it is there. I trust in divine order; I am strong enough to let go. I surrender and know that all is well.
