Book Cover & Preview Text
We have all heard the saying, “when you are at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on” – but sometimes God says, “let go of the rope”. What? Let go? Really Lord? Why?
We might answer "Surely I am not hearing you correctly Lord. Did you really say 'let go of the rope'?
Once we let go, God can then show up and show off in our life. He will do what only He can do! As a parent and grandparent, I have this very strong human desire to be in control and be the fixer. This tendency really places a heap of stress on me both mentally and emotionally, which then turns into physical stress.
But guess what? All the scenarios that run through my mind, (scenarios I worry about when I cannot fix everything), find their way to torment me. Draining me and robbing me of my strength and joy. I find myself feeling defeated, overwhelmed and sad. I take my eyes off Jesus and I refuse to let go of the rope. I am determined to focus on the rope. I hold on to it telling myself I must carry this. I must hold on to the rope.
I tell myself if I don’t hold on to the rope and continue to carry this heavy load, then I am failing.
But you see my friend, therein is the lie of the enemy. The enemy of our soul knows when we come to the end of our rope and we let go and let God handle the situation, surrendering everything, he is defeated. He can not torment us anymore.
When we let go of the rope and allow God to step in and remove the heavy load from us, He turns the battle into blessing.
There are times we must forget the knot at the end of the rope and just let go! It does not matter what circumstance brought you to the end of your rope. It can be family issues, financial issues, job situations, health problems, the loss of a loved one, relationship issues, private self-issues…whatever it is, it does not matter.
Let go of the knot at the end of your rope and …
just let go! Let God take it from here!
