LET GO AND LET GOD

Often times in life we are faced with diverse challenges that presents ‘giving up’ as the only option. Truth is, when complications set in, we fail to reverence the fact that we cannot overcome it all alone. We tend to seek the opinions of others; going around asking others what they would do if they were faced with similar situations. Their answer however is always the same; “QUIT!” or even worse they recommend that we fall in line, that is, for us to do what others are doing so we end up as ordinary as everyone else is.

The big question I am asking here is; “How much force do we exert in pulling the arrow in a bow backwards to attain a desired peak?” Very deep and farther backward I guess

Same applies to our life situations, when we go through challenges in life, we do not have to give up or “fall in line” as they term it. We are expected to have in mind our desired aim/objective despite the challenges. Always remember; the deeper the challenges seem to drive you backward, the higher the height you will attain when you come out successful.

So I urge you to go entrepreneurial, become that actor/artist/artiste you always desire, be that photographer you always dream of, or that gentleman/lady you aspire to be.

Setbacks will definitely invite you for a drink and seem to take you for a ride farther backwards but like the arrow, the deeper it seems to take you backward, the higher the height you will attain when you are released from your bow of challenges.

Do not give up! Instead Let Go and Let God;

                                                                                                                                     

As children bring their broken toys

With tears for us to mend

I bring my broken dreams to God

Because He is my friend

But then, instead of leaving Him

In peace to work Alone,

I hung around and try to help

With ways that are my own

Alas! I snatch them back and cry’

“How can you be so slow?!”

“My Child,” He says, “What can I do?

You never did let GO”

Recite this poem to yourself as often as you can as a source of motivation during challenging times so you always remember to Let Go and Let God.

Jehovah be your guide in Jesus’ Name, Amen!
