Out of my Control

I have a "Save the World" complex. I want to save the children from child abuse. I want to save my friends when they have troubles in their relationships. I want to save my children from the perils of this world. But more than anything, I want to save people from hell. I want to see each and every one of you in heaven. Sadly, I know there are no guarantees of that. There are people who don't even believe in God. There are also people who believe, yet refuse to heed His warnings. They refuse to obey His commandments. They refuse to do what He says to do. It cuts into their social schedule or the way they are accustomed to living their life. These are the people who aren't going to make it. I see people around me doing what's wrong, not in my eyes, but in the eyes of God. How do I know what's right and wrong in the eyes of God? That's easy. God wrote it to me, in The Bible. The Bible is the guide for my life. That tells me what I need to know.

Lately, I've had to remind myself ( or my best friend has had to remind me) that there are things that are out of my control. Someone being mad at me is out of my control. A friend totally changing into something bad is out of my control. The way people around me act is out of my control. I can pray for them, but I can not change them. There are things that are out of my control. They are in God's control. In the end, all these situations I want to change don't matter because God will change them. It's out of my control. I can't save the world.
