I'm
Letting Go
By Francesca Battistelli
"I'm
letting go of the life
I planned for me
And my dreams
I'm losing control of
my destiny
Feels like I'm falling
And that's
What it's like to believe
So I'm letting go"
FALLING
OFF A CLIFF
Being
jerked awake after that
awful feeling like you
are falling off.
Usually I wrench my
neck or flail and look
the fool to those around
me as I drifted off
to sleep at Tim's, or
at the Airport, or waiting
in the doctor's office.
Choosing
to believe in God can
seem like that - letting
go of yourself to be
caught by God is terrifying
- you are losing control,
you are no longer in
charge of your destiny...but
in reality? You never
were.
Did
you choose who were
to be - did you create
yourself in your mother's
womb. Did you deliver
yourself and feed and
change yourself as a
baby - did you choose
your parents. Your colour
or your sex - did you
plan where you were
going to live, who your
friends would be, where
you went to kindergarten?
The
list goes on and on
and when you strip away
what you do have control
over, you come to the
shocking realization
that you are small,
you are helpless, you
don't know your destiny.
So
the question arises
- Then who does and
what should you do about
it?
"I
know what I'm doing.
I have it all planned
out - plans to take
care of you, not abandon
you, plans to give you
the future you hope
for." Jeremiah
29:11 The Message.
God
knows you and He knows
what you need...Him,
call on Him.
Rejoice
in the Lord Always!
