Grasping of the wind is what it felt like, holding to nothing but holding to something because you refused to let it go. It may have been valuable with intense emotional attachment or not, but its grip was so strong you felt you could not let go. You replay in your mind, you act out numerous scenarios of how you could let go. You are tired of the cycle, you know within yourself that this might be destructive path or even a stumbling block ,but somehow you convince yourself that just maybe you might hold on just a bit longer
Snap out of this daydream, do not live your life as a character in a script of a fictional story but live it in the truest form of life’s reality. It is hard to let go, but there are times when that is the only way to regain yourself.
Letting go is never easy, take this for e.g in the basic activities of life we struggle to let go of simple things like our favourite item of clothing or mug you no longer use or need but because of perhaps sentimental attachment you hold on to it, why ? the mug has a crack its leaking its no good to you or anyone else but your holding on to it stored away, that clothing is beyond recognition but you still won’t give it away or let it go so imagine if we struggle to let go of basic essential items how much more when we are faced with real life situation.
I don’t know what you may need to let go off, but if you do I’m sure you probably can relate , and if you don’t have anything you need to let go off that’s a great place to be. I have been confronted and faced with circumstances, where I had to make difficult choices and had to release and let go off things and severe relationships which I thought I so needed. Keeping it real one of the areas I struggled with was letting go of some areas of my past, but I realise that to fully walk into my future that part of my past had to be silenced, deleted and emptied from my memory. Was it easy absolutely not, but in doing so I was able to regain my focus.
The uniqueness of our individuality makes us respond differently to our circumstances. Some people have no problems letting go , they identify the issue and they let go instantly , others may procrastinate and just delay and find it a real struggle but eventually get there and get the strength to just let go. However sadly, not everyone gets the strength to go through the point of letting go and sometimes not because of lack of trying but simply they just cannot push themselves that far to do it.
So here it is, until the day I let go, I did not realise that you had been right there cheering me along the way, whilst my arms where outstretched grasping constantly at the wind. You kept whispering let it go, let it go, you were patiently, guiding me waiting for me to let go so I could fall into your hands and in your divine plan. When we hold on to too many things theres no room to receive , so learning to let go frees us up to receive that which we truly need.
So I did it ,I felt relieved, like a weight lifted when I took the courage to let go, I had forgotten what freedom felt like, I didn’t realise I had enslaved myself by holding on so long. I felt like I had to be reminded that I was not in control and true freedom comes many times when we let go, but moreover as A believer in Christ true freedom comes when we invite Him in our lives and circumstances. He makes all the difference. Freedom is power
I hope and pray that you are encouraged and find the courage to let go of anything{…you name it here……} that you know will be a hoop or a stumbling block in your life. We are overcomers, We can come alongside others and be a support system to each other.
Encourage each other:
Romans 8:37- No in all things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
Encouraged by this !
