MY MORNINGS WITH GOD: Letting go! Isaiah 36:16 O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live. 17 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back. Letting go is often hard to do in any part of your life.....but letting go of the anger and the bitterness can sometimes be really hard.......I went back to look at one of the devotions and bible studies I did months ago because this morning in my quite time with God He kept repeating let it go and at first I thought it was the pain.....But.....it was the anger and the bitterness He is asking me to let go and let me understand if I can not let go I will never get over this and heal. I mean think about it....you forgive and you want to heal......but the forgetting and the getting past are holding you back....Why? Because you are still angry and still bitter and when you allow that to stay with you it is like a cancer that eats away at you and takes your joy......you wallow in misery and drowned in pain. He also laid on my mind over and over this old song I used to play on the piano and sing at church...my parent sang it as a duet once - it was beautiful. He touched me Shackled by a heavy burden, Neath a load of guilt and shame. Then the hand of Jesus touched me, And now I am no longer the same. He touched me, Oh He touched me, And oh the joy that floods my soul! Something happened and now I know, He touched me and made me whole. Since I met this blessed Savior, Since He cleansed and made me whole, I will never cease to praise Him, Ill shout it while eternity rolls. He touched me, Oh He touched me, And oh the joy that floods my soul! Something happened and now I know He touched me and made me whole. I realized He was asking me to trust Him and let Him help me let go, just as He forgave me, saved my soul, made me whole that first time when I became a christian and started my walk with Him, He now is asking me to trust that He can still heal me, lead me and once again make me whole inside, to be able to get beyond where I am now. He touched me and made me whole as a christian with eternal life and He can continue to meet me where I am and touch and heal me each and every time I need Him to........But I have to do my part....by letting go....that does not mean I will miraculously forget......I will never forget...But I in time will no longer dwell on it or think about it or let it eat me up like cancer.....It is wrong when we do this and leads us to sin and harden our hearts and puts a wall between us and God. I am asking you my Abba Father to help me let go one anger at a time, one hurt at a time one pain at a time and get me where I need to be for You to completely heal me and make me once again Whole. You have helped me to do this with others in the past and I know You will help me now. Thank you for my morning time with You and I asked that you wake me again tomorrow with the need to be with You and You give me what I need to learn. Amen
