“3 Things to Let Go Of in 2014” by @Kaala ► Join the 3MM Community Now at http://3MinuteMessage.com Listen to the Podcast ==================== I read an article once about an Air Force test pilot that got me thinking about who should be in control of my life. One of the planes he piloted was the SR71 Blackbird. It’s not operational anymore but it’s still up there as one of (if not THE) fastest manned aircraft with an absolute speed of two-thousand-one-hundred-ninety-three-point-two miles per hour. That’s about a one hour trip from New York to Los Angeles. So he’s flying a speedy plane :) One thing really stood out to me when he said that while he loved flying these extremely fast planes he would never want to be a passenger. It wasn’t the speed that scared him it was the lack of direct control. Think about this: What would happen if the next time you got on commercial airliner they gave you a pair of pilot wings to put on your shirt, a headset and sat you in the captain’s chair? You would now have direct control of that airplane. Would that be a good thing? Most of us, unless we were pilots, would instantly look for someone more qualified and relinquish the controls no problem, no arguing, no debating. Let’s find someone who can fly this plane better than us. If there’s any question on why we have such a hard time letting God be in control the answer should be pretty obvious: We believe we can fly our lives better than God. Here are three things that we should all let go of and let God fly. First, let go of the hurt people have caused you. The bible says to “Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” (Ephesians
