What Can You Control?

Control the things you can control and give what you can't control to God.

The issue lies in determining what you can control. It is highly likely that you think you can control much more than you really can. Because you are not a good judge of what you can and cannot control, the safest route is to assume you can't control anything --- which knocks down the ego and huge amount and creates humility --- and to give it all to God.

You can't be partially pregnant, and you really can't be partially in control of certain things and not of others. Of course, at a level of Spirit, you and God work hand in hand to create what you have asked for in this lifetime, so that is the ultimate control. But how many people walk this earth from the same consciousness Jesus did. You are working toward that consciousness, but until you get there, assume that you don't know what is in your best interest and you can't control anything. Give it all to God. With that surrender comes great peace and joy.
