Tiny Thots: Letting Go | 11.23.10

It’s hard to let go. But I’m learning.

I’m learning that letting go doesn’t mean dropping, abandoning, or failing. It doesn’t mean you have to rip out a piece of your heart, or nurse a lingering vacuum where whatever you let go used to reside.

If I can picture letting go of something or someone into the hands of God, it becomes a transfer into the hands of someone more trustworthy than I.

If I can release my grip with gratitude, if I can open wide my palm and freely give rather than begrudgingly hand over, I no longer feel robbed and deprived —and, instead, I allow myself to feel blessed.

But why should we let go of objects and people and situations we cherish?
I need to let go because holding anything that close constricts me and seizes the heart.
Letting go frees me up to possibilities that exceed my imagination, ability, and resources.

Letting go lets me be a child who trusts my Father who loves her far more than I ever realized
