Letting Go

 

     It’s hard to leave the past behind. In fact, it can be overwhelming and seemingly impossible. Letting a relationship go even when we know it’s the right decision. Letting go of a loved one to death or divorce, being let go from a needed job. Life’s journeys can wear us down and out.

     Can we get to a peace in our relationship with Jesus where trust wins over fear and doubt? Can we believe Jesus works through the drama and anxiety and loss and letting go? Is there a hope and a future no matter the cost?

     Jesus will hold you up. He will comfort your broken heart and move you forward. He will make the memories sweet. He will move you forward and use your loss and your heartache and your fear for His purposes. Your weakness will show His strength. Hold onto the Savior. He works it out. He moves us ahead. He gives us hope for tomorrow.

Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead. Philippians 3:13

Father,

Moving ahead can be so hard. It is a strain. Give us the ability to trust You above our circumstances until we can see a bright, new future ahead.

Amen
