Who's in control

It's your life but who 's in control? Think about it before you give a knee-jerk reaction. Most of us will say "well I am in control of my life"! You really think you are don't you? I would say you are not in control, never have been and may not ever be. Ask yourself these questions? 

What is your job and how many hrs do you work in a week?
If you do not work how do you spend your time? 
How much time do you spend with your wife,"significant other" children, other family members and friends.
Do you have a pet, hobbies?
How about Facebook time,gaming, internet or school?
How much Gossip time in your day?
How much time do you spend worrying about what others think of you? How you should dress, think,talk etc? 
Why are you here? Is there a reason? Where did you come from? What is your purpose?
How do you treat others? How do you treat strangers or animals? Is your happiness dependent upon someone or something else other than your self?
Do you believe in God? If so how much time do you spend thinking about or praying to him? Do you believe in life after death? Heaven or Hell or nothing?
Do you believe life is just an accident? Is there a right or wrong and where did this come from?  
Are you the same person when you are alone as when you are not? Integrity?
 Think about these things and the time you spend with or doing each?
What you do and think about defines you but "life" is not about you. Life is about others and how you relate to them, spend time with them, care about their wants needs and desires. 
I believe God created you and me for a purpose. and that purpose is to love him with all your heart, strength and to love others as yourself. So with this in mind examine the things I have mentioned. If all of these things rate higher than your love for God and others I believe that you are not in control. You are free falling through life. That can be scary. If you are confused, frustrated, mad, broke, stoned or sober without a purpose, put God first and every other person or thing in your life will fall into place. You have tried life your way so why not try it God's way.
