I've always thought I was one to quickly recognize that I was one of the most mature ones my age -then I came to Catalyst. Hah. Yeah having comfort in "being more mature than others" is probably a sign. Oh man, I need humility.
Over the last week, I've felt as if that comfort in 'maturity' was being stripped away. Ope! And with this I've surrendered reliance on my own strength, my own will, my preferences, and even my looks. All things that I have leaned on in the past have been brought up leading to a
breakthrough: realizing that when you want more of God, it means your agreeing to less of you.
The goal isn't robot-like people. The goal isn't passivity. The goal isn't surrendering and losing.
Because surrendering in these areas lead us to victory. That we will be mature by our reliance on God!
It's a frustrating process, no doubt, but this surrendering is necessary for me to learn how to be lead. So that I can let God be God, and trust that he will take care of the rest.
I'm giving up my constant striving, and I'm just going to let God love me.
Try it out, it's worth the battle.
