thieves of happiness: Control by ric Gustafson
Instead of accepting life on it's terms, we want to control our life. Many things are out of our control. Our craving for control keeps us from happiness. Happiness is knowing what we can control and accepting what we cannot. Jesus talked about the desire of control which keeps us from happiness and peace.
We try to control the past and the future. Regret and worry keep us from happiness. We try to control our daily relationships. The opposite of control is surrender. Jesus wants to notice, stop and replace our control with his power and grace. Praise God.
