Give Up Or Let Go

There is a difference between giving up and letting go.

To give up means to forfeit, lose the right to by some error,

offense or crime.  To abandon.

To let go means release, as from ones grip.

So many times we give up.

We let life's circumstances gang up on us to the point

we give up our hopes and dreams.

Things like depression, sickness, lack and hopelessness

become our normal.

But God wants to give life.

And life abundantly.

In John 10:10, Jesus tells us He came so that 

we may have this abundant life.

When we let go, we relinquish our hold, releasing

our faith, which allows God to go to work in our lives.

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you,

declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not

for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

We may not understand everything we go through,

but He is working everything out for our benefit.

Romans 8:26-28

........And we know that all things work together

for good to those who love God, to those who are

called according to His purpose.

God has good plans for you, let go and let Him direct your ways.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on

your own understanding. In all your ways

acknowledge Him and He will make straight

your paths.
