Soul

It is not easy to surrender when we do not believe in the big picture.  We want to know the details, the reasonings, the whys and wherefores.  It is our nature and a gift to question.  God created us to survive and His desire is that we survive fully, not just in the body, but eternally in mind, body, and spirit.  Unless we realize the omnipotence of God, until we surrender totally to His use of our existence on this earth, we will not be able to completely and resolutely release our soul to His care.  How do we see the big picture?  Just as we never completely know a spouse of 50 years, just as we cannot possibly understand the strategy of a corporation without reading the plan, we must devote time in our God.  Get to know Him by spending quality time with Him.  Study His plan through His Word, His Traditions, and His Church.  Knowledge is a great gift and a great power.  Knowing God empowers us with peace, trust, and resolve.  Through the gift of a relationship with our maker, we can seek the answers.  Through faith, we can find the answers.  And in trusting in His plan, we release our soul to the creator of all, and we find peace. 

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.  But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. – Psalm 1:1,2
