Confidence and Abandonment]] ## The Way of Perfection ABANDONMENT (TO GOD'S WILL). A free surrender of one's will to God ([[tj-way-ccel-32|wop-32.4]]). Christ is the model of abandonment; in the garden he manifested his own desire and fear, but then abandoned them to God ([[tj-way-ccel-30|30.2]]). Great gain results from total abandonment to God's will, especially in fear of death and sickness ([[tj-way-ccel-11|11.4]]; [[tj-way-ccel-32|32.4]]). ### Source [[tj-way-ccel-32|The Way of Perfection, Chapter 32]]
