A friend of mine had a one-on-one, planned dinner with her teenage daughter earlier this week.  No, there were no problems; just a need to review, remind and realign the rules.  It went amazingly well, as the young lady was open — almost eager — to hear the guidelines and accept the guidance.

 

I think it’s the same with many of us when it comes to God.  I’m notorious for wanting to go my own way and do my own thing.  (The family motto is “Don’t tell me what to do!” which ranks right up there with “It seemed like a really good idea at the time.”)  But truth be told, my way has been a hard way, and as I discover God in my lifelong quest for Him, I am finding that I like His rules and His way much better … well, most of the time.

 

My point:  God knows what He’s doing.  His way works.  So I invite you to take a deep breath, let the gritted-teeth tension go, and put it all in His hands.  Ahhhh. — jri
