Let It Go

Let It Go

Lay aside every weight and sin that so easily besets you, my child. The journey before you is one of travail and victory, failure and triumph. It is one that I have paved for you, to mold you into the vessel that I have called you to be. It is filled with adventure and treasure, yet it is also tailored with trials that will test you and form you into what you need to be.

To walk this journey, you must lay aside any baggage that you have clung on to. Lay aside the hurts of the past, the failures, and those things that so easily trip you up. It will only weigh you down and make the journey harder than it is supposed to be.

Would you pack up all of your belongings and carry it with you on a hike in the mountains?

Why then, would you take all your baggage with you on this journey? Let it go my child. Let go of the past, let go of the hurts. Let go of everything, so that you may start this journey with power and strength. Your future awaits you eagerly. It groans for your rising up so that you may take hold of it. But it has no room for your baggage. To bring your past into your future, is to contaminate it.

So let go now of the seasons past and look eagerly towards the future. Let go of your baggage and take my hand instead, says the Lord.
