Greetings Linda,
sometimes we have to let things go that would otherwise continue to hurt us
May i have your attention for a few moments?
Imagine if someone handed you a very hot coal and you took it in your hand and it began to hurt. Do you think you would keep holding on to it to see if it might stop hurting?
Or do you think you might keep holding on to what is hurting your hand and put up with the pain?
Or, do you think you would drop it immediately?
We don't need to, or have to, continue to hold onto things that hurt us.
Jesus took our sin upon Himself and in my experience, thus far, we can lay our burdens down before Him because He cares.
Some suggest to go to the Cross and look up at Jesus and as you do so, your heavy load falls off your shoulders. It is a metaphor but it is also a touch of having faith in Him Who gave His life for you and me.
Thank you for reading.
Don't forget, you do not have to keep holding onto anything that causes you pain - you would also very quickly tell your little one to let go of something that was hurting her.
Bless you ....><>
