Open to God

​
​

Let it go.

Whatever you are holding on to so tightly that’s holding you back, you must release it. When you do, you free yourself.

I found out that God had much bigger plans for me than I would ever have had for myself after I let go of my precious dreams.  They weren’t bad, just not as good as God can make.

Desires to perform were underlying motivations for my involvements in life. But they caused me much inner strife and discontentment. It wasn’t until I released them and fully surrendered them to the Lord that I gained the peace and contentment of a soul satisfied with her God.

A released hand is open to receive and to give.

A tight-fisted grip closes off any flow of grace or mercy or love.

I think that’s one reason why we are invited to praise the Lord with hands upraised.
Open.

Reaching.

Hopeful.

Ready for the touch from our Good God.

Ephesians 3:20-21  “Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, 21 to Him {be} the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.” (NASB)
