We are graspers by nature, aren’t we?
I know it doesn’t take long for me to go from a sense of thankfulness at God’s bountiful blessing (being a steward) to a sense of entitlement/possession (being an owner).
As long as I think what the Lord graciously provides is mine, mine, mine, then it’s almost impossible to let it go.
When I can remember that everything-every. single. thing.-is from His hands, entrusted to mine for a season (maybe a lifetime but maybe not) then I can release it back to the One who gave it.
The more I practice the art and grace of letting go (even when it is so very hard!), the better I become at it.

You are so right, letting go is so difficult but it’s the love we have for our sons/daughters that makes it extremely hard to let go. I don’t think I could do. sometime. I want my son back……

It IS hard. Honestly, I revisit letting go more often than I’d like to admit. But I remember that my Father knows I am made of dust and does not despise me. ❤

This is a hard one for me, but I know it’s true. I lost my 23 yr old son this year and your posts have spoken much of what is in my heart. Thank you for sharing.

I am so very sorry for your pain and your loss. You are in early days, dear heart. I’m not sure at all I could have even imagined trying to really let go in those weeks and months. It was a process and one I have to revisit often. May the Lord wrap His loving arms around you and give you grace and strength to hold onto hope. ❤

I am deeply sorry for your loss. I lost my son 6 1/2 years ago and the heartache is still present although different. I pray for courage, forgiveness, & peace for you.
