Infant & Almighty: Dec. 9-10 - Paradox

When you ask "how much control do we really have?" I think of the control of dragging my feet, insisting on pointing backward, or trying to decide myself when this hoped for transformation will occur. Even what what I want is to seek God's will, I keep finding myself doing my own things, the things that don't work. My personal paradox is that in order to receive God's peace I need to have patience and release control, two aspects of peace I do not yet have. I am reminded of the refrigerator magnet, "Be patient, God isn't finished with me yet." I am grateful for God's miracles, and have faith (or at least hope) that God is working at least a small miracle in my life.
