We make choices for us. God is in control of the transformation part. When we choose to trust, we choose to go the way of letting go and embracing the abundance model, rather than the zero-sum mentality.<BR/><BR/>We just have to choose what is right for us.Bruce Milnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15070071654845207943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734876663764782964.post-30375218235618715422008-06-16T07:41:04.608-06:002008-06-16T07:41:04.608-06:00Steve - I believe trust vs control affects every human interaction. Larry Crabb once wrote that every human interaction has the potential for ministry or manipulation. I view it as trust vs control. So I choose to collaborate with trust with my co-workers, I partner with trust with my wife, and I build and mentor trust in my daughter towards her 18th birthday. I'm not saying blindly trust everyone -- trust needs to be in the context of healthy boundaries (the 3 rules) and healthy relationships (contracts vs covenants).Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02391577076185500262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734876663764782964.post-51200031411084278952008-06-16T01:57:00.000-06:002008-06-16T01:57:00.000-06:00Mike: WHO do we trust? God?<BR/><BR/>Bruce: you beg the question: do we make choices or is God in control (using the word control deliberately)?Stevehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03369038307959688305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734876663764782964.post-10524442822516446112008-02-03T11:36:50.522-07:002008-02-03T11:36:50.522-07:00Can human beings initiate transformation? As soon as we set out to transform, how is it not corrupt, short sighted no matter how good we are and ultimately a step of control no matter how good the intentions? Human initiated transformation must then be just a big step of change.<BR/><BR/>We need to abide, dealing with our various points of pain in Trust with God to then have the moment to see when God brings transformation.Bruce Milnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15070071654845207943noreply@blogger.com
