Every day, I am learning more and more, to let go. I know that our plans are not our own. I know that he holds our future.
Letting go.
Its a hard thing to do.
But knowing this makes life so much easier. Trusting. Knowing that he has everything under control. Even if we had a different idea. We are trusting.
“For I know the plans I have for you….Plans to Prosper you and not to harm you…..plans to give you Hope and a Future.” ~Jeremiah 29:11
I’m Letting go of the worry.
Trusting.
“Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?” ~Luke 12:25-26
“Nothing good comes easily. You have to lose things you thought you loved, give up things you thought you needed. You have to get over yourself, beyond your past, out from under the weight of your future. The good stuff never comes when things are easy. It comes when things are all heavily weighted down like moving trucks. It comes just when you think it never will.” (excerpt from a book called Cold Tangerines by Shauna Niequist)
So, we are choosing to
Always be joyful.
Never Stop praying.
Be Thankful in all circumstances.
For this is Gods will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
