What is the best thing about letting love go?
You grab onto God.
In fact, it’s THE best thing you could ever do for yourself.
Believe me when I say this: There is no greater, more intimate relationship you will have on earth than the relationship you have with God. In fact, it’s the perfect romance.
In Rick Warren’s book, The Purpose Driven Life, he states that “You were made by God and for God, but until you understand that life will never make sense.” Therefore, living life without God and not for His will just doesn’t make sense. (Psalm 16:2 The Msg)
This means that our relationship with God must always come first; His wants, His desires for our lives come before our own. However, I do believe most of us have a difficult time letting go of our own wants and desires in life, specifically in relationships, because we have a difficult time trusting God. Some of us question,
“Is everything really going to be okay?”
“Does He really know what He’s doing?”
“Does He really have the best for me?”
His answer: Yes. Yes. Yes.
God loves you so much that He does indeed have the absolute best for you. In fact, far more than you could ever possibly imagine. “God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!” Ephesians 3:20 (The Msg)
All that’s required of you is that you love Him with all of your heart and trust in Him completely. Just be patient and make the choice to fully let go of what you want out of life and grab onto God and the purposes He has for your life.
“God, the one and only – I’ll wait as long as He says. Everything I need comes from Him, so why not?…trust in Him absolutely people; lay your lives on the line for Him. God is a safe place to be.” Psalm 62:1,8 (The Msg)
So yes, the best is yet to come my friend. Just let go, grab onto God, and you’ll see.
“No one’s ever seen or heard anything like this, never so much as imagined anything quite like it— what God has arranged for those who love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9 (The Msg)
