Meditation ~ A Reasonable Basis for Surrender

After so much studying and pondering, there is still so much I don't understand. However, I do know that I've found the One who does understand. Catholicism helps me to understand the simple things God expects of me, while also informing me of the mysteries and boundaries I must respect. Before I converted to Catholicism, I could only have blind faith and hope that everything would work out. Now, I have a reasonable basis for surrendering.

It turns out there were "answers" to find. "Just be happy" is a a simple way of living that we can relax into once we have surrendered to God and His happiness becomes our happiness. Before He is found, the surrender comes too soon. Sometimes we have to fight and struggle to be freed of whatever might keep us from obtaining those answers. It matters that we know the One who created us and saves us. He wants to be known.

Know God first, then rest.
