Letting Go To Receive More

Devotional

One of the hardest spiritual lessons is learning to open our hands and let go. Whether it's our plans, possessions, or relationships, holding on too tightly can prevent us from receiving God's best. Think about trying to catch a ball with closed fists - it's impossible. Similarly, we can't receive God's new blessings while clutching tightly to the old ones. This principle isn't about loss; it's about exchange. God never takes away without the intention of giving something better in return. The key is trusting His heart enough to release what we think we can't live without.

Bible Verse

Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate. - Hebrews 13:11
