Giving Up Control

Giving up control means growing up: my experience broadens, my pleasures expand, my usefulness to others increases and my horizon— like God’s world—is limitless. ~ Anonymous, Overeaters. For Today (Kindle Locations 2264-2266). Overeaters Anonymous, Inc. Kindle Edition.

Giving up control means growing up? It’s a surprising comparison but totally logical! The difference is extreme. Turning over control of our lives and over to God as we understand God. It’s like the Big Book says, Established on such a footing we became less and less interested i n ourselves, our little plans and designs. More and more we became interested in seeing what we could contribute to life. As we felt new power flow in, as we enjoyed peace of mind, as we discovered we could face life successfully, as we became conscious of His presence, we began to lose our fear of today, tomorrow or the hereafter. We were reborn.
