I was going through my Bible this morning and found this list that I had made a while ago. I remember back in the 70's when I first got saved people always used to say to me, "Let go and let God." It sounded right to me -very neat and catchy - but I really didn't know what it meant - really meant. Let go of what? Let God do what?
Afetr more than 38 years knowing Jesus, I am still learning what letting go and letting God means in my life. Here are just a few of the things the Lord has shared with me:
