Just Let Go

"Release all offenses against you, let them go. Forgive and forget those who have wronged you. Be glad, let go, rejoice, and be free. Seek out the joy in all you do today. Celebrate every blessing with true thanksgiving to the One who rejoices over you." ~ Jonathan Cahn

We all know that life would not be complete without opposition, and many times that opposition comes because of offenses against us, the pain delivered by the hands of others. There are many reasons people hurt other people, and none of them are good - there is never a good reason, but this is just a fact of life. Agency is a beautiful thing and a gift beyond price, but sadly, many abuse their agency by afflicting others with pain and suffering.

One of the most important parts of overcoming the offenses of others is forgiving and moving on. Letting anger and hurt fester and grow inside us hurts us more than we know, attracting so much darkness, we walk around with a virtual cloud over us, and to keep from getting caught in the downpour, others tend to stay away. True, there will be a few who will wallow in the mud puddles with you, but the best companions are the ones who will don sturdy rain boots and try to pull you out of the storm. Those are the true angels.

Life is so beautiful, and every day and moment we are here is a blessing. Life is too short to hold on to anger. So just let go. Open your heart, pour your pain into the hands of the Master, and just let go.
