Do Not Be Moved...

... by lesser lights and fleeting shadows.

Maybe life is realistic. But as realistic as life is, God is a truer, surer, reality.

As I struggled in my heart to let go, I had my answer as I remembered that Jesus let go of heaven to drink that cup of suffering for me, for us.

He let go when He had everything to lose but nothing to gain. But when I let go in faith, I am assured that I have nothing to lose but everything to gain. He let go to love those who cannot pay Him back. I let go as a response of having received that love.

Oh Lord can I pray the prayer of Elisha for his servant. Open my eyes to see Your chariots of fire.

It is not a sacrifice. Just a response.
