To Willingly Let Go

To Willingly Let Go To willingly let go Of all the things that cause you pain The entanglements of life The things that cause you strife Choose to cast it at His feet Don't pick it up or retreat Allow the water of His word To wash away The tears The time we waste When we hang on The peace we forfeit Joy we lose Surrender to the will of One who knows Restoration will occur The ocean of His love abides Replaces all the pain To let go Is gain To hang on and keep this pain? Give grace To Willingly let go Grace Conn Feb 3, 2010

It’s like the monkey trap. We don’t want to let go of what we have. With a monkey trap they put a hole in the coconut, hollow it out and then place a treat inside. The monkey reaches inside and grabs it. His fist is to big to come out of the hole. He will not release the treat so unfortunately he does not escape. We humans are not so different.
