God doesn’t play tug-of-war.

God won’t rip your burdens out of your hands.

God won’t pry your struggles out of your clenched fingers

God won’t invite himself into your heart

God won’t force you to choose Him.

He’s a gentleman.

Sure He might bring circumstances across your path that force you to your knees or to a similar place where you can finally let go, but He won’t make you do anything. It’s your choice…are you going to be obedient?

In the past there have been certain situations or struggles in my own life that I have cried out to God to take from me, but at the same time I was holding onto them so tightly. Fear keeps our fists closed, but faith stands with open hands ready to surrender.

Let Go. Let Go. Let Go and let God take the hurt, pain, struggle, addiction and fear and replace it with love, wholeness, joy and faith.

What God gives in return for our “stuff”, far outweighs anything we view as valuable at our breaking point.

Let Go. trust. Let Go. trust. trust.
