Wardell's Praise music!

We don't want anybody telling us what to do. We want to give the orders.

I gave God orders for much of my life. It never worked. For some reason, he simply refused to follow my plans, no matter how brilliant they were. But to my credit, after only four decades of that, I finally gave up.

In all honesty, I can't say it was some flash of genius on my part or a spiritual epiphany. I was just plain tired. Worn out. I decided to let God take over, more out of exhaustion and curiosity than love for him. Despite my wrong motives, he stepped in and took up the challenge.

A Problem of Our Own Making

Now, more than ten years later, I can tell you from experience that what seems an impossible problem is actually life's greatest opportunity.

Think about it for a minute. Here's a being who's all-powerful. No force on earth can stop him. Not only that, but he knows the future. He creates the future!

But the best part is that he loves you even more than you love yourself.
