The Art of Letting Go

What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony?

On this faith journey, I have learned that I am to let go of everything that I thought I couldn’t live without. In doing that, I realized that all I need is God. This perspective has opened my eyes on a lot of things.

In gaining a relationship with God, my relationship with people became better. I believe many people call themselves Christian, however their characteristics don’t necessarily line up with their claim. The Bible says that we would know if someone is truly a believer by their fruits. So how could you claim to be Christian and also be mean and rude to people made in the image of God.

I also understand that when people know that you’re a Christian, they sometimes test your patience. I have experienced this with people that saw me change my life around. It’s like they see the good and they want to get you upset to prove that nothing has changed. In this case, I have learned that everything does not require a response. I believe as a Christian, we must have self control because we are representing God’s kingdom to people who may not know Him.

Fasting has taught me a lot of things. I didn’t think I could ever say no to cheese cake. I don’t know about you all, but I love sweets. I didn’t think I could refuse them. However, with the help of the Holy Spirit, I was able to exude self control.

Another thing that was revealed to me as I was allowing God to heal my heart is that love requires sacrifice. I desire to be married again, but right now I am learning what it’s all about. God has revealed to me that marriage is about dying to self. I can’t blame my divorce on my young age. It happened because we were both too selfish to be married. We were not ready. So, it didn’t work and that is okay. I’m not supporting divorce, but if I’m being honest, God didn’t put us together. I thought that marriage would save me. I tried to do it without God.

However, God is now changing my whole perspective on marriage. I understand that it is not an upgrade and that it requires death. This is why I know that I must marry a man that loves and knows God. Some people may think it’s not important. I think it’s important because if he is submitted to God, then God will correct him when he is wrong. He will understand the fruits of the Spirit and how they work in relationships.

At this point in life, I am willing to let go of everything for the sake of harmony with God. I am also willing to let go of petty remarks and any other meaningless things for the sake of harmony with people. I only get one life, so I refuse to live an unhappy one.

Let me know in the comments what you are willing to let go of.

Happy Sunday!!

Love you all!
