Life is a gift. Where did it come from? Was it our own effort? Was it our achievement? Did we earn it? Or is it just a freely given gift? It's funny how surprised people are to receive a gift. We feel unworthy. We feel like we have to earn it. But if something is given to us, then it is done so out of love. Love knows only how to give freely. It doesn't ask for anything in return. This can be shocking in a culture where most things are a bargain or have a price. To discover that life is a gift, we need only surrender everything until there is nothing to surrender.
