       If we lose something, we’re okay with that. We’re not afraid of someone stealing our possession because we have relinquished any strong attachment to it. I know for me, myself, personally, if I would of heard or read what I just said five years ago it would have not been too welcome in my heart. In the Giving Up Control method I have outlined, I have described how we come out of this kind of attachment to things (or even people). If we have a strong desire to obtain more, or to have this or that, whatever it is, we need to give that desire up. We can do this in light of, first and foremost, the realization of “All that matters is God.” Second, we can do this in view of the fact that when we give up our strong desire, this allows God’s power to flow freely in our lives. This means that if we have a desire that is good for us, good for someone else, good in general, God’s power will work to see that what we first desired will begin to come into our lives.
