"Let go." He whispers.
I know I should, but I can't. It's so hard to let go.
"I am here. I will catch you."
I know it in my head, but the battle is still waging in my heart. Myself, my happiness, my well-being, my future - taking all I am, and giving it to Him. Letting go, holding on to nothing but Him. Clutching the cross, trusting Him, serving Him.
But my lists, my plans, my wants...can I let go of them? I know His plans are even better than mine, but does my heart believe it?
All I have to do is let go.
Lovely vivid imagery. A Father whispering to his child brings to mind a delightful picture of our relationship with God.
ReplyDeleteAs Michael Card said, God wants us to give up everything to him, even our discontents and our struggles to give everything up. ; )
