Let go, let yourself fall.
I will catch you.
I know you feel like you can’t keep holding on, you can’t fight anymore.
I know you’re exhausted, and I’m here to tell you that you can trust in me.
I know it terrifies you – the possibility that you could fall and fall,
The surrender of your life into my hands,
Taking your hands off the reigns.
The thing is, you can’t grasp how precious you are to me
and that it’s safe to let go, because I’d never do anything to harm you.
I only have your best interests at heart.
I won’t let you fall too far.
I won’t let you plummet into the pit.
I will catch you, and we will soar together.
I’ve seen your resilience, I made you a fighter and and have fought well.
But I long for you to learn that you don’t have to always be the strong one,
That you can rely on my strength,
That your gritted teeth determination often puts distance between us
I want to fight for you, but you are battling so hard to survive.
Child, I hurt for your hurts.
Your every bruise tears my heart.
I weep for your sorrow, your confusion, your fear.
And I long to lift every burden from your tired shoulders.
Once and for all.
Falling isn’t failing. You don’t need to measure or compare yourself,
Don’t worry about ‘doing it right’, just take this time to feel what you need to.
Daughter, there’s going to be a morning so much brighter than these.
Joy will wash away these tears of pain.
You belong to my family, and my plans are for hope, redemption and abundance.
We’ll dance in celebration, on a day not too far from now.
But you can leave the timings with me, before you ask!
For now, you can let go.
Open your fists, release those tightly held fears,
And you’ll see how faithful I am.
Go against every coping mechanism you’ve ever learnt and allow me to carry you through.
You’ve learned the lessons of militance, and learned them well.
You’ve laid a foundation for truth.
But now I want to show you a different kind of strength:
Strength that appears vulnerable, broken, handed over.
Life that looks veiled by defeat.
Power that chooses to submit itself to a cross.
Sovereignty silenced for three days in a tomb.Suddenly that scene means a lot more.
I’m not going to abandon you.
You can be messy, uncertain, fragile and dependent.
You don’t have to hold it together.
You’re allowed to be angry and honest
Your rawness doesn’t faze me in the slightest.
You can say anything you need to here.
You can be you here.
Go on, take the risk,
Though it costs all you have,
Though the surrender terrifies you, let go, fall into me.
Find me: faithful, ever-present, more than enough.
Find me your Comforter.
Find me your Healer.
Find me your Strength and Shield.
Find me your Light and Hope.”
This is how I have felt for the last six months. God told me last December to let go, its not yours to hold on to. Are you willing to trust me? Little did I know what that meant at the time, however looking back over these last few months, I can truly say God has got me through and even though I found it hard to trust at times He never gave up on me. So if you too are going through tough times right now. Trust in God, he sees the bigger picture we only see the small part of the puzzle. He will get you through despite the pain you may feel right now. I never thought the pain would be over, yet here I am still standing in Gods presence, looking to Him for guidance and trusting Him with my life, even when it feels like I am hanging over a cliff with my finger nails. He will not let me or you down. God Bless.
