Release it...

 If God gave it, its worth fighting 2save it. If God's not in it, you should probably end it before it ends you.

I read this quote today and it spoke to me in so many ways.  God has shown me in the past few months that I needed to let go of a multitude of things.  Some things I was removed from as a result of my own foolish actions and others God simply took from my grasp because He knew it was best.  He also put somethings in place for me to have that aren't going to come easy,  they are going to require me to fight and hang in there to receive.  Is there something you need to let go of?  On the other hand is there something you need to continue fighting for?

Knowing if the "thing" is of God, takes having a relationship.  We place many "things" on God, when in reality, it wasn't of God.  God would never bless you with something only to take it away from you.  However, know that if your heart gets greedy or your ego to proud you could lose that thing as a result of your actions.  You also need to keep in mind, everything doesn't come into your life to stay.  Somethings are only for a season and once that season has ended it is time to release it.

We need to have an open relationship with God.  If we did something and we knew it was wrong, let God know and ask for mercy.  He is a gracious and merciful God, He will forgive you.  Just let God take the lead and you follow.  Stop trying to show God where to go and let Him show you.

On the other hand, when we know something is of God, we can't be afraid to fight for it.  The devil is going to try to step in and block it.  However, if you have the word of God buried deep down inside of you, then you have the whole armor of God on you.  So you are prepared to fight and be victorious.

In Jesus name we come to you today asking that you open our eyes.  We don't want to miss abything you have for us.  So Lord, when it is time for us to let go of something, make it plain so that we know.  We know Lord that if we don't release that thing at the end of its season there may not be room for the next thing you want to do in our lives.  So we declare today that we will not hold on to baggage any longer.  We will release it in the name of Jesus so that our lives can abundantly be blessed.

Have an awesome day!
