L is for

What word would you use for the letter L?  There are many to choose from and many would be appropriate.  Of course the usual ones come to mind: love, laugh, live, lean, luck.  But the one I feel God wants for me to share today is LET.  Let, as in 'let go and let God'.

It is taking a long time, but I believe it is finally soaking in; God is in control and I am not!  I have often struggled with the word surrender.  Perhaps that is why, let go and let God, is my new mantra.  The only way I am going to overcome any difficulty in this life is to surrender to God, who can change me.  I can't do it by myself.  That has become obvious.  My struggle with the scale is a heart issue.  I want, therefore I eat whatever and whenever I please.

I am beginning to understand how much God loves me and wants me to be happy.  I am learning by my mistakes, and that is OK, as long as I learn.  Each day is a new day; a new opportunity to' Let go and let God.'  Today I plan to take advantage of this one more time.  Then tomorrow I will do it all over again.  Thank you God that you care so much.  To quote something I heard in a church service, "I can't.  God can.  I will let Him!"
