The power of a thing is not based on the power it actually possesses. Rather, it is much more about the power that we permit it to possess.

Sadly, it seems that I have the proclivity to create plenty of devils, but most of the time I don’t even go looking for angels.

Most of our fears are borrowed. Since that’s the case, we should get busy returning them.

Underneath the chaos there stirs a great plan. And it will be birthed only if I give it permission to do so because I have exercised the faith that it’s there.

Surrendering is intentionally laying down the power I possess. And have I considered that the power I lay down is often more powerful than that which I’m laying it down in front of? Therefore, I would be wise to recognize that surrender is less the absence of power and more the presence of fear.

Expectations are the shackles that will not permit something to be what it actually is.
