LET GO AND LET GOD

Monday, January 28, 2008

“Let go and let God” seems trite and simplistic to me. But it really isn’t!

Have you ever watched a person who lives free? He (could be she) does what needs to be done and then when he is done—he is done. He does not worry about what others think, he simply lets go and moves on to the next thing.

Trusting God means learning to let go of each moment so I am free to fully inhabit the next one. There is simply no call for me to try to control people or outcomes. Someone far better is already on that job.

Note: The idea for this blog comes from John Ortberg’s splendid book, When The Game Is Over It All Goes Back In The Box.
