"...they may be won without a word by behavior...but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God." 1 Peter 3:1b, 4 nasb

but to allow another to be a human being.

but to allow others to affect their destinies.
To let go is not to be protective,
it's to permit another to face reality.
To let go is not to deny,
but to accept.
To let go is not to nag, scold or argue,
but instead to search out my own shortcomings and correct them.
To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires,
but to take each day as it comes and cherish myself in it.

but to try to become what I dream I can be.

but to grow and live for the future.

Remember: The time to love is short

As 1 Peter 3 women, God teaches us how to let go and Let God take care of those that we love and those that need the Lord in their lives! I will never forget when I first became a believer and wanted EVERYONE in my life to follow Christ! The problem was that I was sharing sharing sharing so much with some of them that they could not hear from the Lord and I needed to learn to pray, live for the Lord through my actions and not always my words, but most of all let Go and Let God!!
Good News = It Works as many of them have come to know the Lord and are following Him!!!
You can count on my prayers for you as you "Let Go & Let God" take care of those that you care about today!! In Jesus' Name!! AMEN!!
