A Thought About Letting Go and Letting God

I once heard a story that went something like this: A farmer saw a kitten fall into a well, and he hurried over to rescue it. When he looked down into the well, he saw that the kitten was clinging to a ledge to prevent from falling any further.  The farmer quickly lowered a bucket underneath the kitten in order to catch it when it fell, but it was so frightened that it continued to hang on with all it's might. Finally, when that kitten could no longer hold on, it let go and fell into the bucket, and the farmer then lifted it out of the well.

Have you ever felt like that kitten, hanging on for dear life, so afraid of falling deeper in to a scary situation? Well listen, God is saying to you, "just let go my kitten, I will catch you when you fall. I will lift you up when you can no longer hold on in your own strength." If you are in a situation where you feel like you are barely hanging on, then just let go and fall into the arms of your loving God, leave everything up to him and he will save you. Put your trust in the only one who will never leave you or forsake you. He loves you with an everlasting love. I have so much more to say about that.
