RELINQUISHING ALL CONTROL

Power is the ability to act and authority is the right to act. We may know what to do; yet, if we do not have the invitation it becomes intrusion. It is not up to us to change people; It is up to us to love them whether they change or not. Love covers the multitude of sins. What does this mean? This word cover in scriptural language does not mean we cover it up as to hide it, it means to overcome it and to overcome it does not mean we overpower it. “...He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son” (Revelation 21:7). “Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things”. No matter the odds bear through it, not matter the statistics believe it can change, no matter the evidence hope it can be; enduring all things is to simply resist control.
Think about it. Why did God give us “free will?” He is willing to bear, believe, and hope we would choose His heart. Love is not about power; however, love is all powerful. “Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite” (Psalm 147:5). In other words, our God is full of power because He is “understanding,” He understands, His understanding is infinite. "Jesus fell beneath the load of the cross walking the Delarosa; even to the point, He could no longer bear it. Do we think He understands when we cannot any longer bear it?" (RR) I say He does. He bore the cross, He bore the shame, He overcame; He relinquished all control to love us.
