the power of God

Continuing "God pulls"...

God is not waiting for us to be good. We do not have strength enough for that. We have the strength to say no to goodness, but not the strength to become good. God is not waiting for that. What God is waiting for is our surrender.

To surrender is to stop fighting. This is what God is waiting for, for us to stop fighting. God is waiting for us to let ourselves be pulled. It requires no effort on our part. It requires strength to resist, to keep fighting, but surrender is effortless. A release. The power that will change our lives and change the things around us is not our power but the power of God. The power of love.

Love is the power of God. It is love that pulls us to God and to the good life that we long for. And it is love that pulls us together with the other people who love. It is the power of love that changes people and things for the better. It is the power of love that breaks every chain. It is the power of love that drives out every fear. Because the power of love is the power of God. The power of people is nothing compared to this power, the threats and the lies of the crowds, they are nothing compared to the power of love.

And all that is necessary to experience this power is surrender.
