Let Go – Let God
Let go and let God. I know it’s a saying that can be overused. But, it’s a pretty important thing to remember. If we truly have faith and believe that God’s got this and He is in control, then why would we need to hang on? If we do it for show, and just say that God is in control, but try to be a puppet master behind the scenes, then that’s really all it is – a show. Deep down we know it definitely wasn’t us.
We aren’t strong enough, or – let’s face it – smart enough to solve problems the way God can. Way too many times I find myself getting in God’s way trying to control and guide a situation. I wonder how many times my trying and my attempt at controlling something actually causes more work for God in the end… (If you have kids, you know how that one usually turns out.)
How frustrated should God be with me? I can just see Him shaking His head, with a sort of half-smile and a bit of sadness in His eyes, because this was supposed to be the time I actually submitted…
If I were Him, I would have put me in a time-out years ago… I thank Him every day for His patience.
Turns out, I have a really hard time letting go.
