The River of Life

Think of life as the River that you float on. The scenery that you encounter are those experiences and people that are brought into your life for your highest good. If you float on the current without trying to control the direction, this scenery is brought to you effortlessly. Your life can work with the greatest ease --- the doors you are supposed to go through are opened to you, and the ones you are not meant to go through are closed. The problem becomes when we think we know what is best and we try to control the direction, fighting the natural current. Then we smash into rocks and become bloodied. Hopefully this serves as a wake up call for us to release control back to God.
