"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
