Learning To Let Go


How many times in our lives , do we hold on to things so tightly that we leave no space whatsoever for anything to slip out? it could be someone or something very precious to us, that means a lot or maybe lets say costs a lot or why not go to the routes, lets talk about Money.
The most essential thing needed for a human being to survive in this world, with it you're everything without it you're nothing. Heard that before!!

Sometimes we regard this before God and forget that whatever we have in this life is due to his grace and mercy, we forget that our God is a God of multiplication and abundance, with him everything is possible and even a little is too much. Offering is the hardest thing sometimes. letting go of that hard earned money is ridiculous, every penny matters and has to be spent for needs.

Lets go back in the day and look at that lady that honored God and gave that little flour and oil that she had left in her house. With that she was supposed to prepare the last meal for her son and her. Regardless of the severity of the situation she agreed to let go and let God. she opened up her palm and lay it flat in front of God and He found space to Bless, and in abundance He gave. After that day the bible tells us that the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry (1kings 17:16)

How often do we close our hearts so tightly in fear of loosing that something that matters most, that we leave no space for God to enter. Lets open up today, in trust and in faith and in belief that in our God our everything is safe. may it be money, someone you love or something and know He will take that little that is there with us and multiply it a hundred fold and fix the broken hearts and fill them with abundant joy.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Matthew 6:33

Moreover, I will give you what you have not asked for--both riches and honor--so that in your lifetime you will have no equal among kings.
1kings 3:13
