Yesterday I asked if you could deny yourself, today I am going to ask if you can let go.
When I got to college I always heard this phrase of letting go and letting God. Sometimes this phrase really bothered me, because I didn't always want to trust God or I didn't understand how God would turn things around. Others times I was giving things to God in a heartbeat, like the stress of finding a church to get involved at or the racist roommate I had or finding a job that I would benefit from more than just financially.
When I look back on the experiences where I gave things over to God and trusted him I learned a lot about myself but also about God. So for example the roommate situation: I learned that I had to stand up for myself and to be who I am and not what other people want me to be and God taught be patience, because there were many times I wanted to just slap that girl silly. There are many stories I can share about both holding on and letting go, but the important thing is that even in the tough situations God always came through. As much as I hated hearing the phrase let go and let God while I was in college, there is a lot of truth and comfort behind it.
Is there something that you need to let go and let God?
