The Surrender Room

Ray of light Recovery
Love is the Movement

Reflection for the Day
Good Morning 😊😊
Giving love is a fulfillment in itself. It must not matter whether love is returned or not. If I give love only to get a response on my terms, my love is canceled out by my motives. If I have the capacity to give love, then any return I get for it is a special bonus. It is through giving love, freely and without expectation of return, that we find ourselves and build ourselves spiritually. Have I begun to believe, in the words of Goethe, that “Love does not dominate, it cultivates”?
Today I Pray
May I, the inveterate people-pleaser and approval-seeker, know that only real love does not ask for love back. May my Higher Power be patient as I try to practice this principle. May Ihi rid myself of pride that throws itself in the way of love. May I discard my silly cat-and-mouse games that have no place in real love.
Today I Will Remember
I will not give love to get love.🙏🙏

Nobody talks about
the in-between.
The place after
you've let go of what was…
but before
what's next has arrived.
The waiting room.
No clear direction.
No open door.
Just… in between.
And it's uncomfortable
because we're wired for movement.
For progress.
For answers.
But God is not uncomfortable
with your in-between.
He lives there with you.
Because the waiting room
is not wasted time.
It's where He does
some of His deepest work.
It's where anxiety
gets replaced with trust.
Where striving
gets replaced with surrender.
Where your identity
gets untangled
from your outcomes.
The in-between
is where you find out
who you are
when you have nothing to prove
and nowhere to be.
And that person…
is who God is preparing
for what comes next.
Don't rush out of the room.
Don't force the door.
Don't manufacture the next thing
out of fear of the quiet.
What God has for you
is worth the wait.
And He will move
when it's time.
Not a moment late.
Not a moment early.
Right on time.
"But those who wait on the Lord
shall renew their strength.
They shall mount up with wings like eagles."
— Isaiah 40:31
