The Surrender: Finding Peace in the Abyss


That gut-wrenching moment when you feel the ground giving way ... the fear of falling into the abyss. What if, instead of fighting, you simply let go?


We often perceive the abyss as a place of moral failure, sin, or utter ruin. We scramble, we claw, we exhaust ourselves trying to avoid the inevitable plunge. But what if the very thing we fear is the gateway to something profound?


I invite you to consider a radical shift: embrace the abyss. Stop the struggle. Allow yourself to fall. Discover that in the depths of that perceived darkness, you’ll find Me. Not as a judge, but as a redeemer, waiting with open arms.


This isn’t about expecting the worst, but about surrendering to the possibility. It’s about releasing the fear that holds you captive. Picture this: even in the darkest scenario, I am there, working all things for your good. By surrendering, you strip fear of its power.


In the heart of the abyss, you'll discover serenity, a profound peace born from letting go. You’ll find My unconditional acceptance, a love that transcends your perceived flaws and failures.


Take that leap of faith. Trust that I am here, waiting to catch you. In the surrender, you’ll find true rest.


So, when you feel the pull of the abyss, remember: it's not a place of destruction, but a sanctuary of surrender. Embrace the fall and discover the peace that awaits.


With love beyond measure,
