let go and let God
have you ever been in a situation were you don't want to let go? sometimes we have to let go in order to let God work. it's like jumping in a pool. you jump because you know you'll be protected, if you weren't protected you wouldn't jump. right? it's the same with God. you got to trust the uncharted waters and follow Him. but we don't want to, we think we can do it all ourselves and that's not how it works.
it's time for a story. one of my friends was sick for a long time, long time as in when he was born. we met him and his family two years ago in a park in Florida. after being in the park for almost a month, it was time for us to come home. all of us were really sad to leave our friends, but we knew we'd be back. right before i got in the car he kissed my cheek and said these words i'll never forget "i did that because i know i'll see you again." at that time i didn't really understand that, but it was like he knew what was coming. a few months later we came back to the park and that was the last time i saw him. about a year later he got really sick and we all thought he'd get threw this because since birth, he was a fighter. but the sickness was too much for him to handle. i prayed and prayed for him but i didn't really give him to God. i wasn't trusting Him at that moment. that's were the phrase let go and let God should of been applied, but i never fully gave my friend to God. one day we got the call that he'd passed. that was the worst thing that could ever happen to me and i have never felt such pain in my heart. i think about him all the time and i am very thankful to have known him, because he touched many lives, my life included.
so now that i've shared this short story, have you thought of any moments in your life that you haven't fully let go? it's better to let go and let God than to think you can do it yourself. you aren't God, you don't have supernatural powers. and if you think you are God and have supernatural powers, then you crazy.
update: i've been working hard making things for TO THE NATIONS missions. i'll be posting pictures soon! 61 days until Christmas! that means $500 in 61 days!
until next time, don't forget to let go and let God!
