Surrendering Your Free Will To Divine Intervention

To have free will means to have choices, to act at your own discretion. Choices in what? Well, in everything. From eating ice cream for breakfast, to establishing a humanitarian mission to support the homeless.

The ice cream is a simple choice, while the non-profit requires significant planning, a vision, a passion and purpose, as well as personal sacrifices, effort and action.

But both will have consequences. Eating deserts for breakfast may lead to weight gain and even long-term health problems. Helping the homeless will make the world a better, safer and happier place.

Between these two extreme examples, there are a myriad of life paths, choices, decisions, options, and potential experiences. It is what we call life and relationships. In all these possibilities the power of free will always exists.

You also have the free will choice in life of taking things too personally, being too controlling or demanding, being lazy or discontented, playing the victim…or living your life with courage, joy and gratitude.

One of the most prevalent challenges many people is their unwillingness to accept the principles of co-creation. To live a happier, more peaceful life we have to accept that just because we have free will in our own life choices, the world we live in is a co-creation. We do not only choose for ourselves, but we also choose everyday along with others. Every day is an act of co-creation. And not everyone always chooses the same things. We must learn to accept this.

Go with the flow? Never, you might say, I need to be always in control. I call the shots! The paradigm shift of realizing that I am spirit in a physical body is what changed it for me. Consider what your life might look like today had you more often simply trusted the Divine, Universe, God, Creator, Spirit, Source to let things unfold for the greater good, at the right time and in the right way? Well, it’s never too late to try. The results just might surprise you.

Change is the essence of life; be willing to surrender what you are for what you could become ~ Reinhold Niebuhr

However, being one with creation and trusting the divine process does not imply an easy ride or smooth sailing every step of the way. The surrender requires an implicit trust, the courage to embrace change, and the willingness to make some difficult, sometimes unpopular choices and decisions.

Once you let go and let God, it may become necessary, for example, to up and leave something (or someone) behind that has become a convenient comfort zone. But once you take the leap, a new will open for a brighter, better opportunity to present itself.

Often our gut says “Go, for it!” But our mind says “Oh no, what about this, and what about that?” Do I stay in the toxic relationship, or the dead-end job? If we truly trust the Divine, then we must be brave enough to step back and accept the synchronistic nature of the Universe. We must bridge the analytical with the spiritual.

If you surrender completely to the moments as they pass, you live more richly in those moments ~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh

The surrendering of our will leads to the liberation of the soul. The best thing you can do for yourself is to spiritually liberate your mind, body and soul. The more we let go of our fears, demands, and our ego attachments, the less difficult our choices and decisions become.

Maybe it is time to become one with the flow of the Universe and let your higher self guide you to your highest good.
