Our thought-process, sometimes, is beyond our control. Our innate being has been blessed with great diversity, which altogether made up a sane being. God’s abiding grace makes the necessary adjustments in our life.
Memories formed an important part of our living. Memories help us retain good and bad things we came across. We cannot simply let go of anything on our own nor can we retain memories on our own. It seems so normal but it is not.
Another word for letting it go might be forgiveness. Forgiveness comes from the Lord. When we can forgive and forget, we find inner peace. We can achieve it by being in the Lord. The power of forgiveness works wonder in every life.
Forgetfulness, or being forgetful, is another thing which might hamper our living. But in its normal tempo, we find rest and get a good night sleep. Imagine your thinking process did not stop before going to sleep, it would be, and is, very tiresome. In this context, we must be thankful to God for being forgetful.
As a normal human being, I hope, we have certain occurrence which we don’t want to let go. It might be hurtful to us yet we don’t want to let go either. Since all our ventures or adventures in the journey of life cannot yield good results, this kind of things happened.
Even after we have learned lessons from previous mistakes, it can still come to haunt us. However, by being covered up in His abiding grace, we can lessen the aftereffects. Letting it go helps us living past our dark period of life.
It is true that one can never preplan our journey of life in its minute details. Sometimes the ‘very much’ unexpected person or occurrence, outside of our normal life, can still hurt us at the least expected time and place. Still, this is life and we should be able to filter it and try letting it go.
In our completely broken state, most of life’s lessons are best learned. Let me interrupt you here: I am not saying that I’m a learned person. Should you be saying, you’re living in your perfect world, I must agree with you too. It is because you possess that power of letting it go under His abiding grace.
Ostensibly, the hardest part in life is letting it go of the memories of love ones who are gone way too soon. Although they are gone, we tend to cherished them in our minds. It is a good thing to remember them, yet it might lead to bitterness in living. Take it all to the Lord; all will be fine in His abiding grace. However, it should be noted that no human mind could fully understand the Lord’s way.
Try letting go without hurting them back, if someone hurts you. Hurting back benefits none. And it simply let our lives miserable. By not hurting back, we seem to be a loser, but in reality, it benefitted us. It is more closure to Christ-likeness also.
It gives us insurmountable pain, to not let go of something, which was already gone. it also applies to something that wanted to go, yet we still want to keep it. If it is difficult, ask God for help. It is the most difficult part of life, especially, if it happens before we get ready.
There is power in letting go of certain bitter memories. It can give us tremendous joy – the joy of living or the joy of letting it go.
Let me end herewith the greatest joy of letting it go:
Jesus Christ paid the price for our sins. To one who is willing to accept that He forgives and forget his sins. He took away our past sinful life. We became a new creation in Him. He let go of our, any amount of, previous transgressions!
This is the greatest Joy of Living we are bestowed through God’s abiding grace!
