21 Mar Jesus Calling #10
I love this Jesus Calling post. A great follow up to my last post about learning to give up control. We are complete in Him, and when we seek Him, He blesses us with the ultimate feeling of love and security. This world and the people in this world constantly change, but He is forever the same!
From God’s perspective to us:
This is a time in your life when you must learn to let go: of loved ones, of possessions, of control. In order to let go of something that is precious to you, you need to rest in My Presence, where you are complete. Take time to bask in the Light of My Love. As you relax more and more, your grasping hand gradually opens up, releasing your prized possession into My care.
You can feel secure, even in the midst of cataclysmic changes, through awareness of My continually Presence. The One who never leaves you is the same One who never changes: I am the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). As you release more and more things into My care, remember that I never let go of your hand. Herein lies your security, which no one and no circumstance can take from you.
For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. Isaiah 41:13

Posted at 02:14h, 23 MarchOne of the hardest things to do is give up control. Especially when infertility is involved. Such a great reminder of the reasons giving up control is so important.
