Finding Me Truth #4 : I Want To Win

March 30, 2015 | 3 Comments

The excitement and joy of living in relationship with God is the gift of believing in him.

Being in relationship with him. Trusting him. Hoping in him. Having confidence in him. Knowing that he has made me, he loves me and he has my back no matter what.

If I try to foolishly and feebly control, run and bulldoze over him to run my life I always lose.

I lose the joy of seeing him meet my needs in his timing, in his way.

I lose the joy of sharing those moments of dependence with him.

I lose the excitement in beautifully believing in him.

I lose relationship with him.

I lose.

I don’t want to lose. I want to win. With God.

    Poetic and filled with joy. Wouldn’t it be amazing if we actually stopped and thought this way before committing to things that can and do derail us? Well said, my friend.

    “If I try to foolishly and feebly control, run and bulldoze over him to run my life I always lose.” Key word for me in there is CONTROL. I’m realizing what a control freak I am. The unknown is so scary and to truly surrender to Him is the only way to win!

What I Know To Be True

Just when you find that sweet spot in life, that comfortable place, that uncanny familiar, change comes in like a flaming bat out of hell and whirlwinds all your comfortable up. If you’re limited in your thinking you’ll fight it every way you can. But, if you’re ready to grow, you’ll embrace change like a new love and let it lead you to growth you could never dream of but always sensed you desperately needed.
