Redefinition

In addressing the disarray of my soul...
Knowing the need to forgive and let go...
I still find myself caught up in emotional warfare...
The momentum of the past, conflicting with the reality of the present.
My desires, my intent, past fears and failures, wounds and disappointments magnified by years of effort... all line up as ammunition firing at an invisible enemy that will never feel the blow.

And then there is truth, destiny and love. A presence that so unlike the other. Not a warring spirit, but one of peace... and yet it descends on to the battle field, looks deep in to the soul and gently speaks

"Your world is in disarray, because your heart is in disarray. Choose to love, choose to forgive. The war is over... let yourself be free."

The truth speaks beyond the battle and through the disarray. It awakens me to the reality of my condition... the love and grace, are almost too much to bare. A hope and a future bring the disarray to light. The truth breaks through and freedom emerges in a moment... of surrender.

I surrender.

The greatest victory is through surrender.
