Fate

So, I watched the Matrix the other night, and it got my brain moving quite a bit. There were some things I thought would be cool to talk about. I'll just start with one for now:

Morpheus: Do you believe in fate, Neo?
Neo: No.
Morpheus: Why not?
Neo: Because I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life.


This to me was like BANG when I heard it, because I got to thinking about how hard life is when we try to control it. For me, it seems like every time I try to control my life something gets screwed up. But the minute I give it back to God its as if the puzzles pieces are put in the right order and everything fits again.

It happened to me just recently. I had this sin exposed to me and my world started falling apart. And now that I'm thinking about it...that was just it. It was WORLD. It was my world, but it was still world. So as soon as I saw it falling apart I assumed it was a bad thing.

However, instead of completely falling apart over it, this time I gave it too God. And, behold, you'll never guess what He did...He gave me life back. Not my exact life, but a better version. He helped open my eyes to see what was holding me back, and he gave me back a life that was better than before.

So what will you do? Be like Neo and keep life in your control? Or give it to God and take a weight off your back?
