The Vine

How Surrendering Control to God's Love Transforms Your Life Through Christ
Here's what they don't tell you about control.
The tighter you grip the wheel, the more likely you are to crash.
Everyone's selling you the same story: Take charge. Be the boss of your own life. You've
got this.
~~Take control of your life. Be your own boss. You've got this.~~
But what if the opposite is true?
What if letting go is the strongest thing you can do?
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much
fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." (John 15:5)
The vine doesn't struggle to produce fruit. It just stays connected.
The branch doesn't force growth. It just receives what flows through.
God's love isn't something you earn. It's something you receive. Not because you're
perfect. Not because you deserve it. Because He's God, and that's what love does.
Most people spend their whole lives trying to prove they're worthy of love they already
have.
Here's the thing about surrender: it's not giving up. It's giving over.
There's a difference.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, designed you for connection, not control. For receiving, not
achieving. For bearing fruit, not forcing it.
If you've never asked Him to be your Lord and Savior, it's simpler than you think:
"God, I believe You are the Son of God. You died and rose again. Come into my heart. Be
my Savior. I surrender to Your will. Rule and reign in every area of my life. In Jesus' name,
amen."
The vine is waiting.
