LETTING GO

Today I envisioned the Lord holding this huge empty bucket. He smiles at me as He says, "Kelley, cast your cares and worries, dump all of those things that hold you back from your greatness. Don't you realize how hard it is for you to carry on about those issues, the worries over your finances, haven't I supplied all of your needs, haven't I made possible the impossible. Give it over to me, I wish you could see how minuscule these problems really look, child, I know you think your world is crashing down around you but I got you, I'm in control. "

1 Peter 5:7 (Amplified Bible)
“Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.”

Today the Lord said to me, "I know you're tired. I know you're weary in your spirit. I know you're tired of the same arguments with the same people. I know you're tired of your job. I know you're tired of doing the same things. I know you want nice things. I know you want to be healthy. I know daughter. But first I need you let go. Because I can't work in your life is you still hold the reigns. It's okay, I know it's not easy to relinquish control but you must if you want your visions realized. I make promises to you that I will never break." He smiles again as He says, "I can work it out for you daughter, give it over to Me".

Matthew 11:28-30(Amplified Bible)
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh our souls.]
Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls.
For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good--not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden is light and easy to be borne.”
