It Is Time To Let Go.

When we are in the midst of our crises and pain, it is very difficult for us to imagine that our lives will ever be normal again. The good news, however, is that most of us do recover. By the grace of God, we begin to come to terms with our loss and focus on what positive things still exist in our lives. Do you remember any time in the past when you wondered how you would ever get through a specific painful life event? But here you are now a survivor, and by grace you will do it again and go higher. 

At some time in life, all of us will experience a particular type of loss whether it is in our careers, our ministries, our relationships, our health or in the death of a loved one. I really don't know anyone who hasn't had to deal with bitter disappointment and sadness at one time or another. Loss is really a natural part of the life cycle and it is our reaction to it that determines if and when we move on to a brighter future. If we accept the fact that nothing in this world ever lasts forever, we will better appreciate the now moment at hand and we will also know when it is time to let go.
 
Sometimes life can be so hard. It can beat you down, it can spit in your face, it can do just about anything, and yet you can't do a thing to prevent it. But one day you will smile again. You will wake up in the morning, and not have to fight the urge to cry anymore. Yes, it can take a while, weeks, months, maybe even years. If you truly surrender everything to God and learn to trust Him in the process, eventually you will get there, and enjoy the beautiful ending. 

Eventually, you will realize that you needed to experience everything that you went through in order to grow spiritually. In time, you will end up surrendering yourself and your ego to whatever God has in store for you. It is only in this place of absolute surrender that the new possibility can emerge.
 
When the madness is over, when you finally "lets go" in an act of surrender, acceptance and trust in what God is accomplishing with you without resignation and with gratitude for the experience the dark night will end. At that point, ego will no longer dictate the path of your life, and a Light will shine through bringing with it a new spiritual adventure and purpose in life. Your path will then be guided by a series of divinely influenced synchronous events, and your real mission for this lifetime will unfold and fall into place.
