Letting Go

What are you holding so closely to your chest?

I thought you were letting that go.

How many times are we going to do this dance—

You let go, I take it,

Then you’re grabbing it again.

I picked up less this time, Father

Can you see, my arms aren’t as full

You want Me to hold you

Pick you up in My arms

But how can you hold on to Me with what you’re holding?

I want you to let it all go.

What’s so attractive about that mess

That you pick it up again and again and again?

When will you trust Me enough to lay it all down?

Those voices you hear are paper chains—

Stop letting them pull you down.

I’m going to carry you

But it’s time for this cycle to end

I told you you would fly

But you’re weighted to the ground.

These things—these things you’re making so heavy—

I know them, I recognize them

Do you think I’m going to forget

If you let them go?

I made you to be the display of My glory

That doesn’t have to be a temporary thing

But you can’t carry that

And yourself

At the same time.

You try so hard

Smile so big

But your heart is breaking on the inside

And the cracks are beginning to show.

I’ve entrusted you with a lot

But you’re not going to be able to carry it

If you don’t let go.

Let go

Let go

It’s time to let go

That fear isn’t Me

Let go

Once and for all

It doesn’t mean you don’t feel

It doesn’t mean you don’t care

It doesn’t mean you forget

It means you finally heal

I can heal your heart

I can remove the fear

But you have to let go

Each time you need Me I’ll be here

I’m not going to stop reaching out

You’re Mine

It’s okay if you need Me again and again and again

I made you to need Me

That’s how I created you

Stop being so individual

You weren’t created that way

You’re acting against your creation

You were created to be part of a body

Part of Me

A part

Not a whole on your own

So when you need Me

Or you need someone else

You are in the right place.

So need Me

I’m waiting
