LET IT GO!!!!!!

   

Good morning and happy Wednesday! Our morning is a beautiful one, a soft breeze 70 degrees, a clear blue sky and the sun is brightly shining, we are forecast to hit 94 today which will be one of our warmer days but I will take the 94 and feel blessed that it is not what my friends in Texas and surrounding states have endured this entire summer! I continue to do the "mental rain dance" and pray, pray, pray for rain and relief for all of you!
     This morning in prayer, I prayed as I normally do, asking mercies, grace, blessings, healing, understanding and knowledge for each one of you and then I prayed once again over all of those requests that were posted yesterday...as I prayed I began to have a bit of anxious anticipation and could not understand what was going on, I got chills on my scalp and huge knot in my throat and was not sure if there was something physically wrong with me or if the power of the Holy Ghost was so close that I was feeling his presence that much stronger. I continued to pray and there it was again, and again and again...finally I said, Father in heaven is there something wrong with me, what is this feeling I am having, and then in a way that only God can make something cross my heart a phrase came to me...."LET IT GO" I was taken aback just a bit...let it go??? let what go???. I tend to hold on to things I guess you could say I am a mental hoarder....LOL. I hold things so that if the need arises I can refer back to them without having to research or hunt for it. I factor and file things....I probably have forgotten more than I ever learned because my brain is so full of unnecessary files and facts. I do not think our Father in heaven was referring to letting go of this, I think he is reaching out to someone who is holding on to something that they do not need in their life. For what ever reason it is being held... it is now time to LET IT GO. Whether it be anger toward someone, pain from something going on in your life, remorse for something you have done, embarrassment for something you should have done but did not, fear from the unknown, loving someone who is not loving you in return, mourning...and the list just goes on and on.  How can our hearts be full of the holy spirit if we continue to carry things that do not belong there...how can we be spiritually healthy when we carry negative, how can we be examples of Christ if we are filled with so much inner turmoil...LET IT GO...all things happen for a reason, if you have repented for the "bad" things you have done, you already have given them to God, why are you taking them back?  So today I say to you.....acknowledge the "yuck" that you have been storing inside of you, invision it all being swept up into a pile, get the super duper size dust pan, scoop it all up and throw it into the garbage...one you have thrown it away, it is in God's hands, ask him to take it from you and never return it...LET IT GO....I believe that he has blessings for you that cannot even begin to be understood but there is no room to bless you with them unless you take out the trash, get rid of the junk you have used as a crutch for so long, the poor poor pitiful me stuff, the I am unworthy stuff, get rid of all of it, trust that he will take it from you and free you spiritually and emotionally, LET IT GO..
     May you feel a cleansing today, may God's love wash all over you and may you follow the direction he is guiding you, you will never win the "bout" if you are to scared to step into the "ring" don't throw in the towel, ask God to be your strength and know that he is in your corner:) I love each of you and pray for you this day!!!!
