"Stop Complaining About What I Said..."
Why it's so hard to give up control
A lot of things I encountered today seemed to revolve around trying to stay in control, then realizing our own nothingness, and finally, handing it all over to God.
I found this wonderful video in a testimony series on YouTube (click here to watch).
It’s by a young woman narrating her life story and how she found Jesus.
Her story reminded me so much of my own at that age: the feeling of not belonging and the desperate wish to… trying to “keep it together” while the inner pressure is mounting… always thinking, “If I try harder and do better, my life will be better,” and it all falls apart every time… always looking for that Mr. Right with whom I can finally be happy… exploring the occult and New Age in search for answers… falling into sin and despair… and then the incredible relief of finally letting go and leaving everything up to Him.
It was all there, even down to certain details of her life that matched mine. What a blessing to have found this video!
I encourage you to pay close attention this Lent to the videos, articles, people, and events you come across. They may hold a message for you. God is inviting you to let Him in like you never have before. Don’t turn down His invitation.
