Holding onto

God: We need to talk about what you're holding onto

You:  I'm not ready to let go

God: I know. That's why I've been patient. But we're at the point where your holding on is hurting you more than letting go would.

You: What if I let go and regret it?

God: What if you hold on and waste years on something I've already said isn't for you?

You: That's no fair

God: I'm not trying to be fair. I'm trying to protect you. From yourself. From clinging on to what's already dead. From missing what's coming because your hands are still full.

You: I don't know how to let go

God: Yes you do. You've done it before. You survived it then. You'll survive it now.

You: What if nothing better comes?

God: You're worried about the wrong thing. The question isn't whether something better comes. The question is whether you trust me enough to believe it will.

You: I'm scared.

God: I know. Let go anyway.
