PARADIDOMI – April 9th, Brazil.

“A world that is saved by surrender.”

I never thought about or imagined the power of surrender. The meaning of this word in some dictionaries is to give, to restore, to trust. In the act of surrendering in some contexts , can be a sign of weakness, and who can be weak?

I remember a certain situation in my home town when I thought I had been wronged by a friend, and it couldn’t stay that way. I felt thwarted and I wanted justice! After two years the scales of pride became clear in the midst of my arrogance and superb attitude. Thiago, you are wrong. Wow! what a sweet and gentle voice! My justice is right, My grace is the balance over hate and the injustice of humantiy.

This is what I heard from God that day. And how can I not surrender? Weak? Yes, weak that is the description of the state I was in after hearing that whisper, and who wouldn’t be? Today, I believe even more that humanity wanting to or not has experienced God, not through death of His son, but because of His SURRENDER!

“Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.”[a] When he had said this, he breathed his last.”

Luke 23:46
