Holding on is believing that there’s only a past; letting go is knowing that there’s a future. ~Daphne Rose Kingma
Forgiveness changes the way we remember. ~Henri Nouwen
We’re all broken human beings, every single one of us. And we’re living in a broken and hurting world. The old saying, ‘hurting people, hurt people’ is true.
But God’s here to love us, to make us over and to heal us, and through us to touch this world. He’s out to restore us and his world.
We become agents of change…of healing reconciliation.
Our ability to choose is our ultimate power as human beings.
We can choose or refuse Jesus at any time. But God is faithful, regardless of what we do.
So please hear me in this, people will fail you, but God won’t.
We’re driven by fear, and we’re drawn by love,
but we intuitively know, when to hold on, and when to let go.
Be drawn by the sweetness of love.
May God Bless you with his grit and grace!

The Art of Letting Go
Being is letting go, letting time fall down around you and being present.
We think our control keeps us safe, but it actually keeps us bound.
The truth is, our letting go allows God to hold us, to heal us, to empower us.
In surrender, our control falls apart into something greater, a larger grace, a boundless place where our souls expand…
Surrender leads us into what we can’t fully understand, hence what we can’t control. Surrender is our first step of sanity, to becoming whole. It’s stepping into grace.
Surrender is the art of letting go. An art we engage in the moment we hit our knees, and lift our eyes, as we ‘let go and let God.’
Letting go is a living practice, that becomes deeper, richer, fuller.
We let go so that we might find who we really are…in God’s eyes, our eternal self, our whole self.
Growing in grace is always progress, not perfection. What God does is perfect, but we work it out in our common life.
So Thank God for Grace. It’s how we learn and grow in the spirit.
And as we grow in Christ and Christ in us, our past, present, and future begin to converge into our present. Then the veil of eternity becomes very thin.
It’s called mutual dwelling.
And how cool is that?
Surrender is a trust fall into the arms of God.
You can trust and walk with God in the cool of the day.
Even now, regardless…
You can take one small step…right here in this moment…
