I GET IT!!

When it comes to who you depend on most, if you are like the majority, it's you. You are the most dependable person you know, right? As kids, when given the opportunity, we would call out, "I got it!", right? We still do this as adults...especially us men. Or maybe primarily us men...

Car problem - Don't worry I got it!

Marriage problems - Don't worry I got it!

Money problems - Don't worry I got it!

What do you got? Most of the time, it is a knee-jerk reaction that is somehow supposed to keep us from feeling desperate or from panicking, when all the while, we are really just holding on to the idea we can or will fix it.

Know what is scary? That for most of us, and a lot of the time, we make it work or we get by, and over time, we become completely self-reliant. Our lives become all about what we have "got", so that we can be prepared for any situation that might come our way.

All I know is that if you are going to depend completely on yourself, then you are going to let yourself down, and others in the process.

"I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand." John 10:28

Peace does not come from what you have "got" in your hands, but from whose hands you are in.

...just sayin'
