Letting Go and Letting God

 Relax... let go, let GOD!

"Relax." I have been told this word far too many times.And far too many times, I have ignored this simple piece of advise thinking that in my own way, I could make possible everything I wish to happen.  But that just isn't the case because there is someone far more powerful than the mere mortal that I am --- my God, my Creator.

Sometimes, I tend to forget I am but a speck in this wide universe.  I tend to think that my life is always under "my" control.  And in so doing, I most often find myself disillusioned and bitter. To let go, they say, is to let God.  To let go of my human pride and accept that I can not make a big difference in  my life and the lives of those who are around me if I don't allow God to have free rein is to accept that I am nothing without God.

Oh well, easier said than done. My stubborn streak would always get the better off every situation, eh.  I almost always feel like I'm superhuman and can manipulate anything to come together--- or fall apart just by thinking they would.  Goodness. but I guess I am experiencing a major case of psychosis, lol! God forbid!

On a serious note, the saying of the proverbial butterfly rings so true in situations like these.  Once it is chased, the more it becomes elusive as it flies higher and farther away.  But when you let it be, it rests when it is ready --- right on the palm of your hands. 


So, what do I need to do?

Relax.. wait ...

Learn to let go and let God.

Learn to live by faith and trust that the Lord of Lords will make everything fall into place in HIs own perfect time.
