I have laid around for two days recovering from an intestinal bug. That gave me time to think, read and search YouTube. These are some thoughts I have had.
CS Lewis wrote often about our two selves. In fact I believe that is the basis for his ‘Chronicles of Narnia’ series. The small self which is willful, selfish and self absorbed. While the true ‘Self’ surrenders to God’s Will for it, willing to become a Child of God. Lewis writes that we live in the ‘Shadowlands’. That in these ‘Shadowlands’, our true ‘Self’ is afforded glimpses of Heaven or the true Reality. Decades ago, having been defeated, I began attempting to ‘surrender’ my self daily to God’s Will for me. DKS
These videos represent the surrender I try to make daily:
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. (1 Corinthians 13:11-12 NIV)
Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.” (Luke 17:20-21 NIV)
