Letting go
I had to
let go
of the
painful memories
from my
past.
I had to
let go
of the
bitterness and the hatred
towards
those
who did not
mean well
with me and
my family.
I had to
let go
of all the
negative thoughts
that only
pulled me down
into the
depths and loneliness
of my
wounded soul.
Letting go
and leaving it.
Leaving it
to the one
who already
paid for it.
Leaving it
to the one,
who did not
spare himself
in order to
make good
all the
mistakes of humanity.
Leaving it
to Jesus.
Only he
could free me again
from all
the trash
that I have
collected
for a long
time.
He pulled
me
out of my
own mud hole.
He cleaned
and bound up
the deep
wounds
of my own
soul.
He carried
my load
and
restored me again.
He helped
me
feel good
as a human again
and finally
enjoy life anew.
He gave me a new purpose
and calling
in life.
But only
after I let go
did this
work out.
As long as
I was holding on
to my rage
and despair,
and was not
ready to let go of it,
and to
leave it,
nothing had
changed.
As long as
I
was scratching
my old wound
on a daily
basis
I infected
it more and more.
I had to
let go of
my habit of
spinning my thoughts.
I had to
stop
worrying
about things.
I had to
trust
with my
whole heart
and like a
child
the one
who
promised me a new life.
Letting go,
leaving it
and
starting anew
is my new
motto now.
Isaiah
43:18–19 (The Israel Bible)
Do not
recall what happened of old, Or ponder what happened of yore! 19 I am about to
do something new; Even now it shall come to pass, Suddenly you shall perceive
it: I will make a road through the wilderness And rivers in the desert.
