Let It Go

How many times has God asked us to let something go? Give it up? And we struggle, contemplate what He has asked? We are no better than this man who loved money and the thought of having it more valuable and rewarding than what God had for him.

When God asks us to let go of something, turn away from something, it's not because He wants us to be miserable, be in pain, it's because He has something even better in store. If we are impatient and distracted by the now we won't be able to receive and appreciate the "to come."

Truth about Patience…

Patience a virtue...?  This quote has helped change my understanding of patience: “Patience is not passive; on the contrary, it is active; it is concentrated strength.” ~Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton I was taught growing up that patience was a virtue (Galatians 5:22-23), but I was never taught why. Why was patience a virtue? Most people get it wrong; they believe that patience and waiting are the same thing. Well, that's not true. What does patience really mean? Patience has nothing to do with waiting. Patience is all about "working hard while waiting for the results." Patience is understanding that the only way to get to where you want to go is to do something without anticipation. In my experience, patience meant, I would miss out on something I desired. So, I became the hare in the race of my life and would fast track myself through career choices and opportunities and even relationships for fear that I would be forgotten and miss out on something (avoidance)
