Are you burdened about someone you love? Have your efforts to help them failed? Let go, and let God deal with them! Letting go doesn\u2019t mean you stop caring; it just means you can\u2019t do for them what they need to do for themselves. Letting go isn\u2019t about cutting them off; it\u2019s about realising you\u2019re not responsible for the problem, you can\u2019t cure it, and you can\u2019t control it. It\u2019s about not being the rescuer or the saviour so others never realise the consequences of their own actions. It\u2019s admitting that the outcome is not in your hands. It\u2019s not about blaming or trying to change the other person; but having the wisdom to recognise you can only change yourself.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s \u2018caring about\u2019, instead of \u2018caretaking\u2019. It\u2019s being supportive without trying to fix the other person, and instead of judging, allowing them to choose their own path. Letting go means instead of wading into the middle and trying to control every possible outcome, you allow others to experience their own outcomes. Instead of hovering and being overprotective, it\u2019s about permitting them to face reality. It\u2019s about accepting instead of denying. And rather than nagging, scolding, and arguing, it\u2019s learning to work on your own shortcomings. <\/p>\n
Letting go means instead of trying to adjust everything to your own desires, you take each day as it comes and cherish each moment. It means instead of criticising and regulating, you learn to focus on the purpose to which God has called you. It means not looking back with regret on the past, and focusing instead on growing and living for the future. Letting go is about fearing less and loving more. The word for today is\u2014let go, and let God!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
