Learn That Lesson
Sometimes, walking away is the only thing that brings peace.
Sometimes, letting go is the only thing that will ease the pain.
Walking away isn’t always the easy road filled with presumed pride and celebration.
Letting go isn’t always the rebellious act of arrogance and annoyance.
Often, the turning away is the only way for healing to start.
If someone has walked out of your life, honestly assess your heart, and if no wrong can be found, then let them walk.
Sometimes, the walk is more for them than for you.
If someone has let go of you, take a soul check, and if you can truly find no fault, then let it rest.
Sometimes, the release for them will bring strength and reconciliation.
But if a speck on your heart is found, if a blemish within your soul is revealed, then cry your tears and talk to your Maker.
He’s the only One who can mend the wounds and bind what has been broken.
He’s the only One who can restore what had been forever lost.
Do not make friends with a hot-tempered person, do not associate with one easily angered, or you may learn their ways and get yourself ensnared.
Proverbs 22:24-25
Letting Go
Well, I’ve been taking a bit of a hiatus from writing. I just peeked back at my past notes, and it’s been since December that I posted here. For my friends and followers, my apologies if you wondered where I’d gone or what I was up to. And to those who might not have noticed, that’s ok, too. I’ve just been over here living life in my little corner of the world.
I hope to get back to posting at least weekly, if not more, but I’m maybe not going to make a grand announcement this time of how much. It seems I don’t do a great job when I make the big ol’ declaration and keep up with it for a bit of time, and then, life happens, and I get distracted, or I simply don’t feel like I have anything “brilliant” or worthwhile to share. So I think this time, I’ll just begin small and see where it takes us…
LETTING GO
Sometimes, you’ve got to let go in order to hold onto the things that really matter.
Sometimes, you’ve got to release the pain to embrace the joy.
Sometimes, you’ve got to drop the anger like a hot rock to pick up the love that’s been there waiting for you.
It’s only when you walk away from what you’ve always known that you can finally see what is most important and valuable.
So, remove the chains that have bound you.
Be liberated from your shackles that confine you.
Set your souls free and let your spirit fly!
Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
Galatians 5:1
You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?
Galatians 5:7

Messages From A Hope Filled Heart…
Day 20
Share the Load
Sometimes, we carry too heavy of a load. Sometimes, we carry too heavy of a load alone.
And it’s not Biblical.
Now, I know. We don’t need to be wimpy Christians. I know we need to rely on Christ for all we need. I know we need to be faith filled and encouraging and strong.
Yet, He told us to share the load, too. He told us to be the Body of Christ, each one having a part to play. He also told us when one mourns, we all mourn. When one rejoiced, we all rejoice.
So, don’t carry your load alone.
Share it with someone. Ask for prayer. Ask for help. Ask for a hand to be lended. And let them lift your load.
Don’t steal their blessing when they want to pay. Don’t shut them out when they want to pray. Don’t turn your back when they come to offer comfort and love.
You’ll be surprised as your load is lifted how much more of theirs you’re able to help carry.
Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:2
For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ…But now indeed there are many members, yet one body. And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary…And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
1 Corinthians 12:12, 20-22, 26
