Do you want the new, friend?

I've just let go of a board position that was very valuable and important to me for many reasons. Not because I didn't want it anymore, but because God spoke clearly and distinctly. Clearly and distinctly.

So often, He then waits to see how I will react. Ah, in those moments, I'd love to know what the mood in heaven is like, haha.

Maybe there are many angels sitting there, staring at the screen of your life in fascination: "So, will friend do it? What do you think? I say yes!" 

friend, perhaps you can't yet believe that letting go will bring something good but you can decide today to trust. Because:

When God asks you to let go of something, it's only so that you have your hands free to receive the new!

I know the doubts are great. I know everything in your head is screaming, "That's crazy." And if you look at your decision from a human perspective, it makes absolutely no sense. Just like it made absolutely no sense for me to give up this great position.

But here I am reminded of Simon's words again, when Jesus asks him to cast out his nets. That also made no sense, because they had caught nothing all night. But he answered:

"Simon answered, ‘Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.’" (Luke 5:5 NIV) 

And the angels in heaven applaud and celebrate! "He's doing it, he's doing it—let's go and work wonders!"

Again: When God asks you to let go of something, it's only so that you have your hands free to receive the new!

friend, I can tell you that at the MOMENT of letting go, God gave me such a "heavenly" idea that I wouldn't have come up with myself! I know that it will be a great blessing for many,  if you want, also for you! (More on that at the end of this email).

I pray that today, as you finally let go, God will also give you something unexpected, something new!

You are a miracle!
