HAVE YOU TRIED TO : LET GO AND LET GOD?

HAVE YOU TRIED TO : LET GO AND LET GOD...?

(If God sends us stony paths, He will provide us with strong shoes.—Alexander Maclaren)

Good morning! I don't know about you, but I have certainly had my share of days when I felt tested to the maximum. Sometimes it can be hard to keep "a chin up" when so many things are weighing us down.

Today, especially, has been a trying day! The ‘phones kept on ringing and I had such negative feed back from people who owe me money.... Rudeness and no sympathy... excuses so feeble... and I had to take my domestic worker to our church's AIDS clinic to be tested... I have a suspicion that she may be suffering from HIV or similar??? Large orders were cancelled and the inconvenience that accompanies such happenings is not easy to explain nor accept...

I have found that on those tough and stressful days, I am continually taught the art of letting go, and the art of faith. We can't control everything—and when we try to do so, life gets heavy quickly. This simple quote is one of my favourite reminders.

"We are equipped to handle what life sends our way—we simply must learn from the lessons that can teach us, and remember to use the tools that are given to us."

Take a moment to reflect on trying times in your past and how you have pulled through. Make a list and pat yourself on the back for what you have overcome. Use this to inspire you when life gets tough. If you are in a tough situation today, remember to let go. I have made lists and with, and by the Grace of God, I can pat myself on the back...

So, let go and let God... And by doing so you will find PEACE...

Peace is an energy created inside. When I speak with peace, and you listen to peace, the energy increases.

JOHN 14:27

"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.

Today's Affirmation: LET GO AND LET GOD!
