One Minute of Your Time Please

The hardest part about getting closer to God is giving up control. We crave control. The other day I approached an elevator and pushed the “up” button to summon the car. The button lit up and I stepped back to wait. Seconds later a woman came up beside me. She looked at that elevator button, still clearly lit up, then looked at me, then looked at the button again.

Ultimately, she couldn’t resist. She walked up and hit that button. She just had to take control of the situation. She couldn’t trust me, a stranger, to meet her need.

Imagine how hard it is to trust our lives to a God we can’t see. But eternity is worth the effort.
