You can't believe for somebody else, right? Well partially right, because if they don't believe, still you must, for otherwise, how will they see what belief is about? A very close associate of mine is a control freak; and walks fairly close to fear; he doesn't realize how damaging both of those characteristics are as he determines how we are to conduct the business of God. Now he believes in God, and yet, he also believes that he has to direct how things are going to go; and, no matter how you slice it up, those two won't fit into the same pie. So my friend is often feeling as if though he doesn't do enough; doesn't accomplish enough, and isn't satisfying enough to God; and he shows it and says it and lives it in his every moment with others. Only problem is, Jesus said, "don't be filled with fear, be filled with joy, you believe in me, and I've overcome the world." (several 
statements put together there...) My associate the control freak thinks Jesus wants him to overcome the world, so, he often is expressing his distaste with how things are going, and he doesn't even realize that he is doing it. One time he was explaining about the best "use of his time," man alive, here is somebody who really does get that it's not his time, and yet, in a state of dither, he feels that it is. This lack of jubilation in those who follow Jesus may be why Jesus seems a tad bit distasteful, a bit difficult, a bit legalistic, and the Jesus that loves me isn't that way at all, so if you are still trying to control things, here is a suggestion, pray and let Jesus guide you into a better, not bitter life?**The Lord Laughs image belongs to: http://www.thelordlaughs.com/ a site we pray you might visit and order from if you find the image of our Lord as compelling as I did.
