Surrender control of your life to God from "summary" of Crazy Love by Francis Chan
When we talk about surrendering control of our lives to God, we're talking about giving up the idea that we are the masters of our own destinies. It's about recognizing that God is the one who holds the ultimate power and authority in our lives, and that we are called to submit to His will above all else. This can be a difficult concept to grasp, especially in a world that values self-sufficiency and independence. In the book "Crazy Love," Francis Chan challenges us to let go of our desire for control and instead trust in God's perfect plan for our lives. This means relinquishing our own desires and ambitions, and instead seeking to align ourselves with God's purposes. It requires a deep level of faith and humility, as we acknowledge our limited understanding and entrust ourselves to the wisdom and guidance of our Creator. Surrendering control to God is not a one-time decision, but an ongoing process of surrendering our will to His on a daily basis. It means letting go of our fears, doubts, and insecurities, and choosing to trust in God's goodness and faithfulness. This can be a scary prospect, as it requires us to step into the unknown and relinquish our sense of security and comfort. But as we surrender control of our lives to God, we open ourselves up to a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment. We begin to see our lives through the lens of eternity, recognizing that our ultimate goal is not personal success or happiness, but rather to glorify God and further His kingdom. This shift in perspective can be transformative, as it frees us from the burden of trying to control every aspect of our lives and allows us to experience the peace and joy that come from living in alignment with God's will.
