The Need To Let Go

The need  to Let Go



As children bring their broken toys
With tears for us to mend,

I took my broken dreams to God,
Because He is my friend,.....

But instead of leaving Him in peace to work alone,
I hung around and tried to help
With ideas of my own.

At last I snatched them back,
And cried.. "How could you be so slow?"

"My child" He said,"What could I do?...
You never did let go".


Pray and Let go.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
