Let Go And Let GOD (42)
HealthyLiving: As children bring their broken toys
with tears for us to mend,
I brought my broken dreams to God,
because He was my Friend.
But then, instead of leaving Him
in peace to work alone,
I hung around and tried to help
with ways that were my own.
At last I snatched them back and
cried,
"How can YOU be so slow?"
"My child," He said,
"What could I do?
You never did let go."

Awesome, HL...even if I let go to god with a different perspective of it...this is still an awesome poem. And true. If you don't let it go to the Universe/Divine Energy, the Universe/Divine Energy can't take care of it for you.

My experience is, most just put it on the shelf so they can take it down and play with it once in a while..
When the pain becomes to great, then and only then will they "let go"...

What I try to do is remind myself that I've taken the action.
And then turn it over to the powers that be.
Then, I slap my hand, now and then, and remind myself that I've let it go.
*it works, it works, it works!

Yes, it truely does work!!!
Try being mindful of a situation or circumstance. Give it to God, the divine power, and wait to see the changes in that situation. You will see them, if only you Believe!
When you see for yourself, the great results which take place, without YOU helping out and getting in the way, you can begin to develop a mindset to do it all of the time. It will become a Lifestyle to you.
If you can be mindful of letting go, of every situation, every circumstance, you will be able to live truely FREE!

It is amazing how we deceive ourselves, or how we just don't realize how things control us. We might be good a recognizing the more obvious traps like flesh, fortune, or fame. But we fail to see how those things we just "can't live without" have a hold on us. Wayne Myers would come to speak at CFNI every year. We affectionately called it "Wayne Myers week". It was the week that Wayne Myers inspired us to give all our stuff away. I remember those weeks well, for the freedom we experienced in those times were the most incredible releases many of us had ever felt. We gave away our favorite clothes, music, books, and keep sakes. We gave away our money, our cars, and our most well protected valuables. It was amazing. I wish I could have been more courageous in those days. I mostly lived on the testimonies of those who gave big. But it was the attitude of generosity saturating our campus on those weeks, that was truly amazing. Mr. Myers, who gives most everything he receives (millions of dollars a year), would say "generosity is not how much you give, it’s how much you keep". If you cannot give it away, it just might have an unhealthy hold on you. It just might own you.
The same could be said for most things in your life. The object may not be bad in and of itself, but it could hold you back from doing something good in your life. This could even go for something positive, like a great talent. It is out of our weakness that we are made strong (Hebrews 11:34). Even in those things which might be considered bad, might be the key to unlocking something great in your life. "And He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." Second Corinthians 12:9
I guess we could easily say that the more you give TO God, the more you get OF God.

very true.... one thing I have noticed in the last few months since I have become a Christian... is that God is intent on making me face all these sides of my personality that I didn't even know existed.. he moulds you, brings you to your knees, strips you back to the core and builds you up from there...cause we are of no service to him if we are still of the world...

Prayer
I asked God for strength, that I might achieve.
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey.
I asked for health, that I might do greater things.
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.
I asked for riches, that I might be happy.
I was given poverty, that I might be wise.
I asked for power that I might have the praise of men.
I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God.
I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life.
I was given life, that I might enjoy all things.
I got nothing that I asked for but got everything I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.
I am, among all people, most richly blessed.

with tears for us to mend,
I brought my broken dreams to God,
because He was my Friend.
But then, instead of leaving Him
in peace to work alone,
I hung around and tried to help
with ways that were my own.
At last I snatched them back and
cried,
"How can YOU be so slow?"
"My child," He said,
"What could I do?
You never did let go."
