Today is the day to release every negative thing that’s been holding your heart, mind, and spirit captive. You know those things that have been preventing you from fully enjoying your blessings and life. Release them so you can receive and enjoy every blessing God has for you. You will never be able to truly enjoy them until you do.
Two years ago, I shared a random afternoon message. Didn’t even create or include an image, so I know it must have been one of those messages I felt compelled to share. This morning I am sharing it for the same reason. It’s important that you know your vision is too small. God has so much more planned for you.
Decided to create an image for today’s social media posts.
Trust God’s vision.
The caption will be:
“There’s so much more beyond what you can see or imagine. My advice—stop trying to figure it out and let God lead. His vision is greater than yours.♥️”
I pray you have a lovely day and an amazing weekend!♥️
Good Morning! Have you ever been frustrated, disappointed, down, or even hurt because things in life just haven’t gone as planned? Well, according to your plans.
If so…
Let It Go!
Release every expectation you had for your plan because God has something better in store.
Here’s a quote from the late Bruce Van Horn along with the post I shared six years ago.
I shared this a couple of weeks after I had basically given up on my plans of finding a new home. After losing my house (due to divorce), I had promised my kids that the place we had moved into was only temporary. Well, eventually our “temporary” home began to look more like a long term stay.
After three years of searching for a place and things not working out, one day everything just fell into place. I found a house, secured the lease, and moved in the day before my son’s birthday.
You see, the year before, I had promised my son we’d be in a new place before his next birthday (no lie). So, I was really trying to make good on my promise. Well, by the time September of the following year rolled around, I still hadn’t found a place. Talk about being frustrated and disappointed. Then, one day I just let it go. I was tired. And that’s when it all happened. What I hadn’t been able to do in three years, God did in less than three weeks. To this day, it still amazes me how things happened. As I mentioned, we moved in the day before my son’s birthday.
Y’all, that’s only one of many examples of things happening according to God’s plan. As Bruce Van Horn put in his message from God, trust God’s love for you. Never doubt that He’s got you, completely!♥️
Your situation seems too complex for even Him to solve?
Today, I found myself in a situation where I went through all the stages above. Then, when I finally accepted the fact that I could not do it on my own and decided to release control (even the tiniest of control I was holding on to), God stepped in and handled everything! I mean, He went to work. Everything flowed so smoothly after I let go.
I write about releasing control all the time, but sometimes I find myself still in the driver’s seat or trying to give God directions on how I believe things should go. I’m human. It wasn’t the first time and I am pretty sure it won’t be the last. Just wanted to share my testimony with you.
Listen, whatever it is, even if it seems like something you can handle on your own, let it go. Give it to God. Don’t wait until you become frustrated. Give it to Him in the beginning, when you first feel the struggle. Believe me—and I say this all the time—God’s got you!
Set yourself free! Release past hurts, guilt, disappointments and shame. Harboring even the smallest resentment can make it difficult to receive and enjoy blessings. Release opens doors for receiving love, joy, opportunities, and success. Let go and be free!
It’s true, if you want your life to change for the better, you have to let things go. Holding on to past hurts, grudges, disappointments, and even shame, only hurts you. It also stops you from fully growing and receiving all of God’s wonderful blessings. Listen, I don’t know about you, but I don’t only want some of my blessings. No… l want all of my blessings. Every last single one. Smile. Let it go!
On another note— My daughter came home yesterday for her friends’ wedding and is leaving this afternoon. So, I am going to spend as much time as I can loving on her before she leaves. Smiling
