Sometimes the things we can't change
end up changing us.
For the first time in my life, I fully understand what it means for God to be in control. Not me. Him. Why it took me 43 years to realize this is a mystery to me. Those of you who know me well know that I like to be in control. It's in my genes. Each in his own time, right? I will no longer secretly wish that my expectations be met or that I know what is right. I will pray "if it be in Your will God" and mean it. Because His will is perfect, even if I don't understand it.
And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. Romans 8:27-28
You sound just like me and are so right!!!!! It is so hard to give up control but can give you so much peace!
