let it go

Have you ever bought something, a top, a pair of shoes, a “cute ” handbag  and you knew full well that you had nothing to wear it with?  But you bought it anyway because you told yourself that ” you would get something to go with it”  hmm it’s been how long since it is sitting ever so nicely on that shelf in the closet and although you know you need to give it away, you just can’t bring yourself to part with it.  Well, I’m here to tell you today to LET IT GO!!!!!!!!!!!!  Those jeans don’t  fit you and has keeping them helped  you lose any weight?

Paul says in Phil. 3:13,14…

” FORGETTING THOSE THINGS which are behind, and REACHING FORTH unto those things which are before, I PRESS toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. ” So have a little farewell party.  Say goodbye to old habits, old friends, old ways of thinking.  If you keep on holding all that garbage so close, how will the Holy Spirit ever be able to fill you anew?

Did I say it would be easy?  Absolutely not, but do I want the prize, that is really the question.  Is the sacrifice I think I’m making worth it?  I say yes, 100 times yes!!!!  Christ is everything, He is the pearl of great price.  He will fill you to overflowing, but first you’ve got to LET IT GO.
