Let Go

Back in my old stomping ground for a quick visit. Watching the city that never sleeps ‘wake up’, from my son’s high-rise apartment. I love the ‘Big Apple’ for more reasons than one. I may chat about that at another time.

What I want to focus on is that message in the window. I get why my son has this here – he’s a ‘thinker’ sometimes to a fault. You may be one of those who have a need to see every ‘i’ dotted and every ‘t’ crossed before you can operate from a place of peace. You get thrown off balance when things don’t go as planned. Have you noticed that there is an abundance of truth in this popular saying – ‘ everything happens for a reason’? For the most part, things do work out the way they are meant to. And, if not – then we call it ‘ lessons learned’.

For those who are on a journey walking out their faith; maybe your new-found faith in Christ. You’ll quickly find out that you’re in for a ride! Giving over control can be a terrifying thing for some of us. This does not mean you become brainless and exempted from personal responsibility and accountability. It really means following His lead. Why? He knows best and we don’t. He’s the only one who can see around the corner. He’s the only one who knows the future. The only omniscient One! So let go and let Him…

The God who loves you best will never steer you wrong. So here’s a message for those of us who have been overly anxious, worried, or fearful: ‘God is writing your story; stop trying to control the pen.’

***Thanks for reading. Let go and ‘lose control’ today.
