Let it Go

"Listen carefully: Unless a grain of wheat is buried in the ground, dead to the world, it is never any more than a grain of wheat. But if it is buried, it sprouts and reproduces itself many times over. In the same way, anyone who holds on to life just as it is destroys that life. But if you let it go, reckless in your love, you'll have it forever, real and eternal." --John 12:24-25

I'm done holding on to my life. I can't (and shouldn't be) in control of it, so why do I bother to try? I gave up my life to my Lord Jesus Christ a long time ago. Now, I need to truly give it, all the way. Hand it over, sign on the dotted line, "here's the keys Lord, I'm all yours!" Isn't this an amazing thought: God, the Creator of our universe, the Painter of our skies, the Potter of our landscapes, in control of me. Who better to have in control?!?! God is the Ultimate, the Almighty, the One. Honestly, who else would I want leading my life than the One who knows the perfect way.

The above verse from the book of John really struck a chord with me as I read it earlier this week. It reinforced what I really need to be doing: Letting go and letting God. This will take much time and prayer...but it's something that's definetly worth working on.

Thank you Lord, I can't wait to see what You have in store for me.
