Let it Go so you can Grow…

This morning at women’s ministry, following the series of Propel Women, led by Christine Caine, we spoke about enlarge. What is it that we need to let go, before we can grow? So many times we want to expand our business, life, relationships or increase our reach, but we have obstacles in our way. After ministry ended and I was doing some admin, I realized my earrings are hurting me – random I know, but stay with me…My earrings were hurting me, but my office for the day is inside a Shopping Centre, so I thought to myself “even though they hurt me I should keep them on, because they complete my outfit and look nice and how would I look without them, and what will people think?” How many things are we allowing to hurt and stagnate our growth just because we are afraid of letting it go. Whether you are afraid of change, people or growing pains – Growth is necessary. We also need to know what to let go that is maybe Good but not necessarily God. I ended up taking off my earrings, because I just could not stand the pain. My prayer today is that you will find peace in what you need to stick out – maybe you need to persevere through growing pains for a season, and peace to know, what to let go, getting rid of the pain and hurt of obstacles.
