"And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not" - Luke 9:49-50aJesus never tried to exert control over anyone.
He told the wind to cease, demons to leave, sickness to be healed, and spoke the truth in the face of opposition but he never forced his will or ways on anyone.
How much different would our lives be if we purposed to not try to control.

What a difficult lesson for some of us.. The illusion of control is so comforting, but when we realize we never had control in the first place there is a peace that is so much better than comfort.
