listening & letting go

this morning i read my devotional and the scriptures spoke to me throughout the rest of the day.
perhaps it is because i have some unfinished business to tend to.

sometimes there are things in our lives that we simply have to place in God's hands.
it's letting go. letting go of things, letting go of loved ones, letting go of our children when they are grown and old enough to make their own decicions, letting go of the things that have hurt us, letting go of the things that have crushed our Spirit, letting go of our fears, letting go of our inhibitions, letting go of the things in this world that are "of this world" which we use to define ourselves, and letting go of things that we cannot control.

tonight i am going to let go of a few things and give my Spirit an opportunity to breathe and grow and when I tell God all about my hopes and dreams and my thoughts and feelings, i know that i will have his undivided attention because i am His and He loves me.

i will spend time in His Presence, where i will find what i am seeking, because He will never change and He will never leave me. He will help me.

How do I know?

He promised.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.~ Hebrews 13:8 (NLT)

For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear;
I will help you. ~ Isaiah 41:13 (NIV)
