moving forward but thinking back

Letting go is always hard to do. It requires you to do what your body doesn't like. Taking your grip off something. Falling. Giving up control. Your immediate reaction is to frantically grab for what it was you were holding on to or any handholds along the way down. But the more you fall, the less control you have. Your reach becomes less until you're under the mercy of what lies below.

I use this as a metaphor to my own life right now. There are people and dreams that I need to let go of. I realize there's no use in worrying about the future and living in the past. They are things beyond my control. But the present, that is where the real living takes place. And to get there, I need to let go of things, lose control and fall. That moment of falling where I am under the mercy, there will I find God. For everything that falls away will reveal all I really have to hold on to is Him, the great I Am. There will be suffering yes, and loneliness, but also great freedom. And in that freedom, life, the way it was meant to be lived.

"So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will take care of itself. Each day has enough trouble as its own". Matthew 6:34 -And as for the past, God is there too. Perhaps healing, but always moving. He is present in every situation.
