Let go and let God
''IF YOU LOVE SOMEONE...YOU WILL ALWAYS BELIEVE IN HIM, ALWAYS EXPECT THE BEST OF HIM...'' ROMANS 8:13
Sometimes the best thing people who love us can do is to let go and let God. Sometimes we're glad of the space, the opportunity to grow up, to prove ourselves and make our own way. Sometimes we wish they would step in and take away the problems so we don't have to face them.
Is someone you love trying to give you and God the space you need? Are they trying to let go? Is there a relationship or area in your life where you need to let go? To let go doesn't mean to stop caring, it just means you can't do it for someone else. To let go is not to cut yourself off from those I love, it's the realisation that you don't control them.
To let go is to admit your powerlessness, which means the outcome is not in your hands. To let go is not to try and change or blame another, you can only change yourself. To let go is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being. To let go is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes, but to allow the other to make their own outcomes.
To let go is not to deny, but to accept. To let go is not to nag or argue, but to search out your own shortcomings and correct them. To let go is not to criticise and boss anyone around, but to try to become what you dream you can be.
To let go is not to regret the past, but to grow and live for the future. To let go is to fear less and love more. To let go - is to let God!
