Let Go

I don’t believe in coincidences 

or that random things just happen.

Instead, 

I believe that everything happens 

for a reason 

and that all things, 

even bad things, 

work together for good.

Certainly, things happen because of 

choices people make 

and we live our lives every day, 

making decisions, 

often without regard to the future. 

Though we may not be consciously aware, 

even the smallest thing 

can have a most profound effect; 

while a big thing may 

have a seemingly small effect.

That poor decision we make today 

may not have any ill effects 

until years later, 

just as that small act of kindness today 

may not reap obvious benefits 

until we least expect it.

The things we do every day 

(good or bad), 

without any second thought 

may seem inconsequential, 

but they aren’t.

Everything serves a purpose.

Regardless of our perspective,

 all things are working together… 

for good.

God gives strength to His people.

 He blesses them with peace. 

(Psalm 29:11)

Though our situation 

and/or circumstance

 may be difficult and seemingly overwhelming, 

there is nothing going on that 

God hasn’t already given us 

the strength to overcome.

He can take any horrible decision 

or situation

 and turn it into good.

And not only are His methods perfect, 

but so is His timing. 

It may not feel like we can handle a situation

 right at that precise moment, 

but if it is happening,

 we can rest assured that God

 has already given us the strength 

to get through it.

Sometimes we are affected, 

positively and/or negatively, 

directly and/or indirectly,

by another person’s actions 

which invoke within us 

different emotions.

But remember, 

there is nothing

 that anyone has ever done

that Jesus’ work on the cross

 hasn’t already forgiven.

It is up to us to choose 

whether to harbor negative feelings 

(which make us miserable)

 or to let go 

and to allow 

perfect Love 

(which sets us free)

 to have it’s way in our hearts.

And truly, 

this IS

 what it all boils down to -

~ LOVE ~

Pure

Unrestrained

&

Unconditional

It is the Love 

that we have all

 been given by God.

So what right 

do we have 

to withhold it 

from one another?
