A love that lets go…

Have you ever “let go out of love,”?

My mother’s tears were so great that she couldn’t make it to the airport to say goodbye. Yes, I had decided to spend a whole year in Australia—on the other side of the world—to attend Bible school.

She didn’t object, but knowing I would be alone there… That was hard for her. Yet she let me go freely so I could find my life. THAT, too, is love.

When God looked at you, He faced the same choice: “Should I really let go of my Son, whom I love so much, so that people—like—can be set free through Him?”

God let Jesus go—to set people free!

As it says in this famous verse: “For God so loved the world that he gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16 NIV)

Maybe you, too, are being asked to let something go that you don’t understand. Believe me, neither my mother nor I fully realized the amazing things that her decision to LET GO would bring! I would even go so far as to say I don’t think I’d be writing to you if my mother hadn’t let me go back then! 😲

And if the Father in heaven hadn’t let go of His beloved Son, Jesus, I definitely wouldn’t be writing to you today. But even worse than that: you and I would be lost.

There is incredible power in letting go. Letting go makes room for something new—something you would never see if you held on too tightly.

And I know how hard that can be—even God knows. But He also knows what He can do. That’s why He calls out to you: trust me!

In short, let go and let God work!

Because the good that awaits you is still ahead!

You are a miracle!
