Ultimately I've tended to see things like this in terms of our PERSONAL FREEDOM. Jesus makes us FREE with a capital F!!! So it's then quite contradictory to allow ourselves to be CONTROLLED by something - effectively making a great tear in the freedom for us that He paid such a horrendous price for.
As far as control is concerned I know only ONE control on this whole earth that:
(a) is truly GOOD (and good for me)
(b) really WORKS
i.e., letting the Lord Jesus control my life. Therein lies the incredible FREEDOM of heart and mind and spirit and life that I live these days. I'm NOT in any way saying that I'm perfect; just that these things I have most of the time. And that's quite fantastico!
At the end of the day it's a totally simple equation really:
• Fail to give over to Him control of all of your life, and ultimately YOU lose - BIG TIME.
• Get drastic, get desperate, get SERIOUS with Him, and let Him have ALL of you - and all that YOU GAIN is more than I can even express.

Awesome post!.. The biggest responsibility of free will is to follow him, by following him, we find our true self.
When speaking with a new found friend last nite, he stated
REFUSE TO LOSE!
WOW.. 3 SIMPLE WORDS TO POST ON MY MIRROR THAT I WAKE UP TO..
Lord Jesus take the drivers wheel and control all.
You are so right.. we lose big time if we do not.. we may not see it right at that moment but in the end it is all there
Blessings!
