“The Enemy always tempts us back to control, to recover and rebuild the false self.”
~John Eldredge
I am or have been incredulous because that which I can’t believe are those things which I can’t control. When I thought I was in control of things – those things, or life, did not seem strange, weird or unbelievable or random.
Perhaps, I was blind to such things and in being blind to them I was missing life and love and beauty. And the grace…the mere grace that comes in the surrender of attempting to control or do anything is amazing although unsettling in its initial appearing.
It is in the absence of doing,in resting in Jesus and knowing the love of the Father and that the Holy Spirit can have his way with our hearts - to tend and mend our brokenness and heal our loss and sadness.
"A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of."
~ Jesus
