SABRINA

If you have been on this planet since 2013, my guess is that the theme song from the Disney Film Frozen, Let It Go, rings familiar. If you have children or grandchildren, I imagine there has been at least one day you thought if you heard this song one.more.time, you would scream.

There is something about that song though. I can hear God saying that to us. Think about it -
Let it go.


Let go of the past that you cannot undo. Let go of the hurts that you hold too tightly.  Let go of the mistakes you once made, the anger that's consuming your thoughts.

Letting go is giving up what is beyond our control to embrace what we can change. In Isaiah 43, God spoke to His people through the prophet Isaiah saying: Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will make all things new. God speaks the same to us today. We can't control the past, but we can focus on today.

Letting go isn't easy in the beginning, because holding on is our natural response. It doesn't just change us - it frees us to live in the present and not the past!  So, for today, Be blessed, and as for the past... let it go!
