We Cannot Control Other People

We cannot control other people.  Sometimes, we would really like to have a bit of control over others.  We’d like to help them understand certain things.  We’d like to help them avoid difficulties.  We’d like to give them some of the benefit of our experience.  And it may be true that we can have some positive influence.  We may be able to have a measure of helpful persuasion.  But, the bottom line is that we cannot control others.  Most of the time, to be honest, we have our hands full trying to control ourselves.

Letting Our Lives Do The Persuading

Rather than argue for Jesus it is often far more persuasive to let our lives point to the beauty and reality of Jesus.  And, of course, that happens best when our lives have been truly transformed by the presence of Christ living in us.
