Let it GO

I get an email every morning from Proverbs 31 ministries with a devotion for the day. This was the verse for today. 

“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old.  Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." - Isaiah 43:18-19



 

If you know or even have walked passed any child under the age of 6 in the last couple of months you have heard them singing the catchy tune "Let it go" from the movie Frozen. In it two sisters struggle in their relationship with each other and finding acceptance.

At one point in the movie Elsa, the older sister, sings these words:

 "Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don't care what they're going to say
Let the storm rage on"

Think about it...... Let it go....


LET GO of the past that you cant undo.

LET GO of the messed up view you have of yourself. That is NOT the way our savior views you!

Let it go.... Maybe God has been asking you to let something or someone go.

LET GO of the mistakes.... HE has forgiven you... it is time to forgive yourself!!

LET GO of the all consuming anger..... He has it all in his hands.

LET GO of the excuses.... Jesus wants YOU to LIVE a happy fulfilling life!!


So what exactly is the definition of letting it go?

Letting it go is giving up what is beyond your control to embrace what you CAN change!!

That right there!! Those words will preach!! Why are you holding onto all of this stuff when you have NO CONTROL over it??

In Isaiah 43:18-19 God spoke through the prophet Isaiah and said "Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old.  Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."

The people were holding so tightly to what had happened to them in the past that they missed the new wonderful things God wanted to show them!!

God is speaking the same warning and truth to us today!! We cannot control what has happened in our past, but we can, however, focus on what He is doing in our lives TODAY!

We can't control negative people, but we can choose positivity for ourselves!!

Letting go of things isn't easy. Holding on to that anger, fear, frustration, hurt, is our natural response. But with JESUS all things are possible. Lean on him and HE will help you let it go.
