Becoming nothing for God


"We apparently do not dare to trust that there is a love so unconditional that we do not have to do anything for it"

"We exist in the love that is omnipresent in God: Becoming nothing before God, living in surrender"

(Sören Kierkegaard)

 

Well my good God, we'll just take the whole bite. What beautiful texts that a person writes down and apparently feels and experiences. I think I would especially like it if you comment on that becoming nothing for God, that really does not seem very modern in these days. 

But let's do what you wish, and go into the following sentence:

“Become nothing before God, live in surrender"

Western man will not really like "becoming nothing", but if you say becoming quiet it comes in the direction of what seems acceptable. But that's really it: becoming nothing, becoming quiet, listening, forgetting yourself for a moment, being in the here and now and parking all those thoughts about the past and the future, resting, doing nothing.

Indeed, we have already said much about God's unconditional love for man, and that you do not have to do anything to be deeply loved by God in a great and unconditional love. And blogs have also appeared about your existence in the omnipresent love of God. And also there has already been talked a lot about how you are everything with God and nothing without God.

All this makes that a man is and God then can let Itself be experienced in man. If only with an immense feeling of relaxation, letting go, inner silence, space. And then as a human being you quickly enter a state of wanting nothing, doing nothing, wishing nothing, not waiting for anything and is surrender not very tangible then, very real? 

In short, living in surrender is no more than being willing again and again to exchange the turmoil of the ego and its basic tendency to want more or to want to get rid of something for a state of surrender.

It all seems insurmountable in this dynamic world of thousands of impulses and needs, but it is simply this question: what do you choose as a human being again and again? And if you always choose the inner peace, you will eventually live in surrender. And then as a human being you have automatically become nothing for God, and then God can work through you to the maximum and therefore you can then be everything to mankind. 

My blessings to you all

Keep smiling in life


My friend Merel had another revelation:

On a beautiful day I was cycling in the Twiske, a nature reserve near Amsterdam. To my great indignation I saw that there was once again a lot of waste after an event there. In addition, that week, cycling to work, or walking through city parks, the view of a lot of garbage and junk next to garbage bins, just indifferently wafted away.

I was completely taken for it and sighed to my Angel/God "How can I be a little happy or happy in a world where there is so much bluntness and rudeness towards nature; ruthlessly, man continues with destruction!" ?

It remained quiet for a moment and then I heard

"Dear Child, go down laughing..."

At first I thought huh.. what is this..?

But I finally understood that the downward line is as necessary as the ascending one in the sphere of relativity, and that in Eternity all this is only a small bump; ugly yes, but seen with mildness in God's eyes; like a naughty and stupid school class.   

These where the words of Merel.

Would You like to comment on this?

 

How could I do otherwise, my good son. And what a revelation from the My God of Merel. Actually, nothing should be added to it.

Yes it is a revelation. Because the big question is, "How does man keep up in his inner  self when the world around him collapses?"

In the blogs, sufficient attention has been paid to what is to come, despite Our desire to be optimistic, to inspire confidence and to sketch a beautiful and glorious perspective to all people. 

But there has also been spoken of the great changes that are coming so that Mother Nature can move forward with mankind, but in Her terms. And that's going to be a downfall, for a lot of people, a lot of animals, a lot of plants, a lot of nature.

How, then, does man behave? To speak with the sinking of the Titanic.

Running around madly and drowning in the cold water or making music and waiting in good company with a drink for the waves.

In short: in panic and confused and forgetting that one is human and there is more than earthly problems or in all confidence with a smile facing doom, the promise of eternity in memory. 

The latter seems to me to be more pleasant, more spiritual and more witnessing of self-control, trust and faith.

But there is still something I want to add.

Live the whole life smiling

For the world is a spectacle, your ego endearing, your suffering relative, your future in the spiritual world glorious.

Know that the spirit of humour should be a very important, if not the most important spirit in your life.

In any case, she is the most important helper of God. 

Your friend Merel is blessed. 

My blessings to you all
