Question: In your writings, you talk about surrendering to God's Will. Why should I surrender to God's will? What's in it for me?
Answer: The short answer is everything.... All that you have ever wanted out of life is available to you when you surrender to God's will because God wants to give you every good thing your heart desires...
Your ego does not like the idea of surrender, it clearly sees surrender as defeat as opposing to giving UP your thoughts to God so he can replace them with thoughts that will provide you with the "guidance and wisdom" you are seeking that will make it possible for all of your dreams to come true.
Surrender for your ego "is" defeat, it is the defeat of the Ego's ability to control of your life and cause you unnecessary suffering, pain and conflict. Your ego's most powerful weapon is doubt. If ego can make you doubt there is a God that personally cares about you and wants to guide you to the fulfillment of all of your heart desires, then ego wins and remains in control of your life.
God will not interfere with your Ego's choices. You have to willingly surrender the thoughts of Ego to God.... If God interfered in the choices you allow ego to make for yourself, God would negate your free will, your power to choose, a gift God gave to you at the time of your birth...
The purpose of Ego is to be your gracious servant, not your abusive master... Ego can only know things from past experiences and prior knowledge. Ego can not know things in the future, where God wants to lead you.
When you are willing to face the future fearlessly and leave your doubts alone, God is able to enter your mind and replace your thoughts with knowledge and wisdom that will guide you to the fulfillment of your heart's desires with effortless ease.
Knowledge from God makes you feel loved, protected, cared for and connected to all things. Ego's knowledge, on the other hand, makes you feel insecure, fearful and disconnected from everything. The choice of whether we will allow ego to rule our lives or God's best thoughts for us to rule our lives is a choice each of us must freely make on our own without being forced into that choice by others.
Ego ruled my life for years.....and still fights for control of my life but past experiences have taught me, in the end, Ego's desires for me only lead me into trouble while God's desires for me, give me all the good things I have ever wanted...
