At the moment I'm busy reading a book that is written by John Ortberg. The book's name is "The Me I want to be". On the cover of the book is also says "becoming God's best version of you". The book is al about finding out what God made you to do in life. Finding your talents and do what God intendend for your life. What I really like about this book, is that it really helps you with "life" and is very practical and talks to the every day person and help you to grow spiritually in Jesus.
One particular chapter in this book, is about surrender. And there is another quote from John Ortberg in this chapter that I would like to share : "I work the best I can, but I am not in control of the results." God is in control of all the results in the universe ! The moment I realised that, I stoped trying to "control" everything in my life. It can be SO exshausting to try and control.. and I know there are many control freaks out there ! You can put yourself out there, you can take a risk, you can work the best you can, that is what God expects of us. But He is in control of the outcome and of the results..
My prayer for today with John Ortberg is : " Jesus, My Lord and Heavenly Father, I won't try to figure out the rest of my life. I won't try to solve every day. Just today. You lead. I'll follow.. " Amen
