I used to think life was about controlling everything... until this truth hit me hard.
In North America, we are great at "taking control of life"—planning, goals, efficiency, self-improvement...
But the harder we try, the more exhausted we get; the more successful we are, the emptier we feel.
Why? Because we put "ourselves" on the throne instead of God.
When I read this quote about life, I could never forget it:
"When a person is without God, when they cannot see Him, when they cannot truly and clearly know God’s sovereignty, every day is meaningless, worthless, and indescribably painful. ... Only by accepting the Creator’s sovereignty, submitting to His orchestrations and arrangements, and pursuing the attainment of true human life, can a person gradually break free from all heartache and pain, and gradually rid themselves of all the emptiness of human life."
True freedom isn't controlling everything—
it's letting go and letting God take control.
True satisfaction isn't having more—
it's surrendering to the Lord who designed your life.
If you have ever felt "successful yet empty," put "I NEED THIS"—
and tag a friend who is struggling.
