As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I was thinking about what it means to LET GO. There are so many things we need to LET GO of! We may need to let go of hurts from the past. We may need to let go of relationships and friendships that are unhealthy. We may need to let go of held-in anger and resentment. The good thing about letting go of things is that it makes room to HOLD ON to things that are important.
Today, maybe you could think about what you need to let go of. Make a list of four or five things that trouble you. Then make a list of four or five things that you want to embrace. It’s amazing how the small exercise can put things into perspective. I am working on my list this morning and had to stop at four or five because I probably have 15 things I need to let go of. But today, I’m going to pick only four or five. My list of what I need to hold on to is inspired by Jesus. I need to hold onto HIS love, HIS strength, HIS word, HIS forgiveness, and HIS mercy.
So today, I am calling it SELECTION DAY. Select what needs to go and what needs to be held onto.
I guarantee it will be a wonderful day!
