We are constantly in various types of storms in life. Many times we may feel like we are being tossed in aggressive waves of difficulty and we attempt to control as much as possible. Our human nature automatically wants to be in control and the master in command in as many areas as possible. What we often do not realize is that the true Master in command is so much larger than ourselves and that when we feel like we are caught in a storm, we are actually well contained and in the true Master’s control.

Often we are unaware of how even the smallest actions or words can cause great effects. We make huge impacts in dimensions that we do not perceive. Further, at the root of humans is a childlike nature: curious, innocent, carefree. What would it be like if instead of experiencing the increased stresses of life as we aged, we could maintain our childlike nature, not giving thought to our actions. Oh that we could constantly be carefree while letting our actions have their corresponding ripple effects!

Help is always available, but our flesh (the selfish and pompous part of human nature) will resist help even though we want and need it. Thus, there is a constant struggle of wanting yet resisting help because we often think that we can do things on our own. In reality, the opposite is true: we were neither meant to live in isolation nor depend solely upon our own efforts.
