Self-Directed Learning – Are You Trusting Your Own Efforts or Relying On What God Has Already Done?
Ξ May 15th, 2008 | → | ∇ Educate for Freedom |
It has called my attention how many pages there are on the Internet about self-help.
There seems to be a huge demand on information which helps us on our tireless human quest of perpetual happiness, peace and fulfillment.
And most of us are laboring in vain to find it.
Don’t get me wrong. I do believe in our incredible human capability. After all, we were created in the image of God.
But without Him it just won’t work.
God’s plan for our lives is exceedingly above and beyond anything we can achieve by our own human efforts.
And He didn’t just create us with a unique combination of talents and gifts and then abandon us to figure it all out by ourselves.
No! He wants to be part of our life. Not just any part. He wants to be the number one part.
And when we surrender to Him and are willing to follow His plan, not ours, we automatically tap into that life of abundance, the fulfilled life we are so desperately looking for.
Jesus died so that we could live a life of abundance, the good life. It is by His grace that we can attain it.
And once we learn to rely on His limitless grace rather than on our limited efforts, we will tap into the blessed life He intended us to have.
It is then, and only then, that we will finally experience the changes in our lives that we have formerly labored for so hard, but in vain.
