Letting Go

5Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,
"God opposes the proud
but gives grace to the humble." 6Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
-1 Peter 5:5-7

It's almost frustrating how simple the Christian life is. Over and over again we see the same thing coming through in various forms. Love one another, serve one another, show humility towards one another. Many of us have been burned--so taken advantage of that our reaction is to hold on to what we've got as tight as we can. We hold on to life with a death grip and end up extinguishing the very thing we want so dearly. Yet Christ's calling is clear. Let go. Take the risk. Leave it all in His hands and he will take care of you.
