How many times in life do we simply hold on to things when we should have let them go? Maybe it's a relationship, a friendship or anger. How many times do we let our need to be right get in the way of being happy? Or... how many times do we let our need to be right get in the way of forgiving another, because we are trying to prove a point? Being angry, holding a grudge.. these things use emotional and physical energy - and honestly, I believe they are a waste of our time. Is it not easier simply to leave the past in the past, and let go of what you cannot change? Maybe things did not work out the way you wanted them to because God has a bigger and better plan for your life. Maybe... while you are praying for one thing, God is answering you and you are not listening.
In Jeremiah 29:11 He tells us, "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Isn't it time that we all start trusting in His plan, and not our own? As I look back over my life, I am so very thankful that He had bigger and better plans for me than I had for myself.
Happy Sunday y'all!
