Jesus Controls

If you totally give everything over to Jesus, He will control all things for His good. It’s absolutely amazing though that we deny this and try to control things on our own. When we do this it only separates us from Him who does control everything. And if you think He is not going to, just wait, He’ll show you. I recently made a huge mistake morally and have been totally humiliated and thrown into the dirt. I thought I could control it and it was going to be okay; oh no, well the beauty of this now is I see how much Jesus really does control things for His good. If only you just take on this belief before you get thrown into the dirt like I did.

Jesus does things as He pleases; He doesn’t need anyone’s approval. He will call you out and reprove you. But through this you are given grace upon grace forgiveness by faith and it makes you realize if you just allow Him to control your life you will only be blessed all that much more. Jesus does as He pleases with us to make us, who are elected, to love Him so much more. As Jesus forgives the sinful woman he says “her sins which are many, are forgiven – for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.” (Luke 7:50) Her love showed that she understood what God’s forgiveness meant for her. Jesus forgives us for all our sins and by our faith will we be transformed to “walk in the light, as he is in the light” (Heb 9:22). The shedding of the blood of Christ was a voluntary substitutionary sacrifice of infinite value for the elect; it paid in full God’s penalty for sin (Heb 9:27, 28). We are saved by grace through faith. He has paid the price for our sin. Now we should rejoice and turn our hearts toward Him in glory. When we do this and release our grip on what we “think” we control we will be happy, joyful, and alive with our new life with Him. He then controls us and our desires change, we want to do good things that are pleasing to Him. We don’t do good things to please Him. We are given a new heart and through our faith we desire to do good things that please Him.
