“Examine yourself to see whether you have within you a strong sense of your own self importance, or negatively, whether you have failed to realize that you are nothing. This feeling of self-importance is deeply hidden, but it controls the whole of our life.

“Surrendering completely to love, be it human or divine, means giving up everything, including our own well-being or our ability to make decisions. It means loving in the deepest sense of the word. The truth is that we don't want to be saved in the way God has chosen; we want to keep absolute control over our every step, to be fully conscious of our decisions, to be capable of choosing the object of our devotion.” WayWantLoveGivingHumansWellsMeanAbilityDecisionLove IsStepsObjectsDivineTruth IsGiving UpCapableConsciousAbsolutesIncludingSavedDevotionChosenWell BeingEvery Step Author:Paulo Coelho
