       You see, surrender is the key. One of the pillars to our lives is surrender. When we surrender, we don’t let a trial have power over us. We surrender to it when it comes. In the negative levels of inner-self, there are two incorrect ways we can react. We can resist it or we can ignore it. We don’t want to fight it or resist it. We don’t ignore it or push it away. Rather, we face it head on. We keep our patience and we watch God work. Resisting will only lead us to suppress what we are really feeling. When we fight the trial, we find ourselves not making the right choices. We are angry with God. Angry at others. Angry at the world. Upset with life in general. This doesn’t help us, and it doesn’t help anybody else. The beautiful thing is, behind every life-trial is a precious awareness to be learned. Now, I know, that doesn’t sound too hot at first glance.
