Letting Go and Letting God

Letting Go and letting God! What a hard thing to do. Sometimes it's hard to let go of things that we are use to or things that are familar to us, and let God take control. God's word says that His ways are higher than ours. But no matter what it's still hard to do it when you are faced with life. My life has changed these past 6 weeks, with the lose of my father. But I was reminded of something today, I was thinking about my dad and emotions tend to take place. But in the midst of my emotions and feelings of lose God brings that peace. And I can't explain it but it gets me through it. My neighbor is going through some similar things with her father being sick and doctors speaking death over him, and it brought back all those feelings that I just went thru 6 weeks ago. And God reminded me that He is in control and everything happens for a reason. Because I had to let go of my dad, I am now in a place to help my neighbor. We don't always understand it but we don't have to as long as we are holding on to God's hand He will walk with us thru it. We may not understand why we go thru the things we go thru, but just remember that it's for a reason. And it just might be that there is someone out there that needs you and it's an opportunity to share God's love with them. We can't all go to the mission field in another country, but we all have neighbors and people that we work with daiily that need to know the love of God just like anyone else. We are in the mission field, just take the time to Let go and let God.
