I have not posted in a very long time, but I figured if I was doing a "guest post" on a friend's blog (The Teacher's Wife), that I probably needed to do one for my own.
Let. It. Go.
This is my theme for the year. It's funny how the song that people are singing these days is from a Disney movie and the title is "Let It Go". (My favorite version yet.)
I also have a theme song and it's not the one above, but we will talk about that shortly.
As I started the new year, I ask the Father to give me a theme or focus for the year. This year it just seemed clear, in my prayer time and other times of corporate worship, that I needed to let some things go in my life. Have you ever felt that way? Feelings that things were just weighing you down? Well, that's where I was and I was ready to be free and no longer weighed down in my walk with the Lord and in the life He has called me to live for Him.
This leads me to the song that the Father gave along with this theme. It's William McDowell's Withholding Nothing. Here are just a few of the words of the song:
I surrender all to you
Everything I give to you
Withholding nothing
Withholding nothing
King Jesus
My Savior
Forever
I give you all of me
I give you all of me
The Word, the Holy Spirit, the words of songs and of brothers and sisters in Christ have encouraged my heart to truly "let go" this year. It's not easy. It's rather painful. However, I know that it will be worth it so that I can run this race with perseverance and I can say "I won't go back".
Be blessed!
