“Jesus Asks Us to Let Go”
The only way to move forward is by letting go. But that’s not always easy.
I hate letting go. I don’t like letting go of old clothes, familiar places, and people I know. I hate letting go of the things that I like and people whom I love.
However, there are things that all of us need to let go of, and these are often the things that we hold on to with all our strength. C.S. Lewis wrote:
Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.
I remember the monkey bars when I was five years, and I had to learn to let go of one bar to grab the next one. It was frightening! Years later I looked at those same monkey bars and thought how puny they were. Why? Because I’d grown!
Christ calls us to let go of the fears and failures of our past: our pain, our hurts, and our betrayals. Christ calls us to let go of who we thought we were before we met him. Because all these things stand in the way of our becoming whom he has called us to be.
Letting go is one of the most painful things in the world. But not letting go is even worse. Your future in Christ is much better than your past.
Someone once said that for the unbeliever, this world is as good as it gets; but that if you believe in Christ, this world is as bad as it gets. Reflect on that. How does this change your perspective on life?
