Fall always reminds me God has a season in mind for letting go.
Just as the leaves are meant to fall, so are the weights of worries, concerns, secrets and burdens we carry, to our own detriment. In some instances, it may be an unhealthy relationship or addictive behavior He may be calling you to leave behind.
We only tend see the death of autumn as leaf after leaf start to fall…but without the leaves falling to the ground, the next season can’t arrive.
We need to let go so God can move us on.
Each leaf knows when its time to leave, when the winds of change are blowing strong.
Leaves are meant to fall, not hang around past their time.
God has designed us to not hang onto burdens for more than for a short season.
He is enough to help us leave our pasts behind us. To let go of the pain. To be healed of our wounds. (Psalm 55:22) To give you peace and rest. (Matthew 11:28)
No matter your past, God is present.
He wants to fill us with hope and give us a bright future. (Jeremiah 29:11)
Leave the old behind, and let it make room for the new season He has in store for you.
We are called to have faith.
He not only gives us fresh hope,
He makes all things new. (Revelation 21:5)
We are products of our past, but we don’t have to be prisoners of it.
~Rick Warren
God is the soft place for us to fall as we let go and leave ourselves in His hands. 🙂
