Let It Go!
I did a sermon recently titled Let It Go! Click here to watch the sermon
So many times, we find ourselves in a world of hurt because we just won’t let go.
I guess that makes no better than the monkeys that get caught simply because they would not let go of the banana!
It is nearly impossible to catch a monkey but with a simple little trap they become immobile. Monkeys just won’t let go of that snack they have in their hand even when they see trouble (man) coming! They will hold onto that “prize” to the end! What a shame, holding on to their own demise.
There is another story about a man with an expensive vase and he couldn’t get his hand out! He was frustrated and called a friend over to try and help him remove his hand without breaking the expensive vase. The friend got some Vaseline and put it on the stuck wrist. After trying for some time, he said, “I can’t believe this. It looks like we are going to have to break the vase to get your hand out.”
The man replied, “Do you think it would help if I let go of my wallet?”
On the other hand, there are certain things in our lives we simply need to let go of in order to grow in our walk with Christ. Amen? We have our hand in that spiritual vase holding onto things and we are in bondage.
Far too many people walk around with vases on their hands because they are holding onto baggage from years of mistakes, hurt, pain, bad choices, etc.
In Jesus, there is no condemnation for our past mistakes because we are given the gift of eternal grace. It’s time to let go of all that stuff and learn to live free! Amen?
Ephesians 4:31-32 NIV (31) Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. (32) Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Let It Go and be free today!
