I came across this lovely piece of writing this past week. It made me think about who is in control of my life? Hope you enjoy it.
“At first I saw God as my observer, my judge, keeping track of the things I did wrong, so as to know whether I merited heaven or hell when I die. He was out there sort of like a president. I recognized his picture when I saw it, but I really didn’t know Him.
But later on, when I met Christ, It seemed as though life were rather like a bike ride, but it was a tandem bike, and I noticed that Christ was in the back helping me pedal.
I don’t know when it was that he
suggested that we change places, but life has not been the same since. When I
had control, I knew the way. It was rather boring, but predictable. . . It was
the shortest distance between two points.
But when Jesus took the lead, He knew delightful long cuts, up mountains, and
through rocky places at breakneck speeds, It was all I could do to hang on! Even
though it looked like madness, He said, "Pedal!"
I worried and was anxious and asked, "Where are you taking me?" He laughed and didn’t answer, and I started to learn to trust. I forgot my boring life and entered into the adventure. And when I’d say "I’m scared," He’d lean back and touch my hand.” - Anon
