Just let go! And you're probably like... from what?? from control. We like to control our lives and the people in it. Especially our families, sometimes as Christians we want to fix them and save them.. But God does. He does everything. But first we must let go. I never thought i had a control issue until tuesday. I knew i wasn't perfect but i didn't think that control was one of those things.... I like to control how things happen and its vain in a sense. Like wanting to be the one to do everything but we do nothing... My friend recently told me a story from Jason Upton and the moral of the story was that God doesnt need our help. LOL! Like not at all... So when we feel left out or unproductive yeah... because we dont do anything. #1 those feelings arent from God so you're not walking in the Spirit and #2 its vain because its not about you.
We must let go of our sense of control... "O i need to do this..." "I want to be the one that does this" or "Why didn't i know about this?" Who cares!?! We should be so busy dining in the presence of God that we don't have time to think so vainly you know?? We should be so busy saying "God what do YOU want me to do?" that we wont even have enough space in our brain to think about ourselves.
The Lord showed me that i had to let go of my sister.. and this control over her... And it hurt me... like "But God I have to do this and that and I dont want anyone else to do it" and God is like... "You do nothing... I do. You dont have to be everywhere and do everything..." And that hit like... wow... ok God. Its hard to let go because I am a busy body but God is O SO sovereign and I am already delivered in the name of Jesus. Amen He's teaching me how to pray and leave it and stay still. And i believe that He is big enough to do MORE than i can image and thats with everyone i love and ALL things.
God is so sovereign... Psalms 8:4 says "4 what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?" JESUS!!!! WHo are we that you are mindful of us?? And why arent we thinking about you cause you think about us....
Fred Hammond song has been ministering to me like CRAZY today :) "I'm overwhelmed that you would call me friend; i'd give it all to be a servant or a slave"
WOW!! I'd give it all to be your SLAVE but you've chosen to call me friend. Jesus! Thank you God.

Yes, Paul said it right when he said that we are merely planters and waterers. It's God who makes things grow! (1 Cor 3:6-7)That is a subject that I am also dealing with as God matures me. God is the one who is God. He lets us play a certain part but at the end of the day He does the changing. So yes, we are in agreement Let Go! :) ♥
