Day 9: End Of Your Rope


LOOK UP & TRUST & LET GO.

Oh the words that are so easy to say,

yet really hard to do especially

when you are at the end of your rope

or when a loved one is at the end of their rope

or when you are so committed to

trying harder & working harder & loving harder

&

doing all that you know what it takes.

BUT then you come to a sudden halt because you feel

HOPELESS~

because you realize that you can't do it all

no matter how hard you try

because you just can't

heal a loved one or even yourself.

The pressure we put on

SELF

to do the impossible that is impossible,

but we try anyway

even though we know what we really need to do is to

LOOK UP & TRUST & LET GO.

BUT we don't fully because it takes

SURRENDER

which makes us

VULNERABLE

& feeling totally helpless

because you are at a place of choice of no choice.

But are you really

when you

LOOK UP & TRUST & LET GO

because

JESUS

stands with open arms to

ALL

who cries out

no matter

what you are feeling

no matter

what you are going through

no matter

what you want changed that won't change

because

JESUS

wants us to

LOOK UP & TRUST & LET GO

to

HIM

so

HE can do the impossible in our hearts that we are trying to do ourself~

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to ME. Get away with ME & you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest.

Walk with ME & work with ME—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.

I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.

Keep company with ME & you’ll learn to live freely & lightly” (Matthew 11:28-30 The Message).

Are You At The End Of Your Rope?

Do You Know Someone Who Is At The End of Their Rope?

The end of the rope is not a bad place,

because that means that there is a rope

that is being held by the

ONE

who is asking us

TO LOOK UP~

"I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; From where shall my help come?

My help comes from the LORD, WHO made heaven & earth" (Psalm 121:1-2 NASB)

TO TRUST~

"But those who trust in the LORD for help will find their strength renewed...."*

TO LET GO~

so that

"...They will rise on wings like eagles; they will run & not get weary;

they will walk &not grow weak" (*Isaiah 40:31)

You are one step away,

yet sometimes it is the most difficult step to take

yet the only one we need to do

because

GOD IS

always at the other end of your rope

and this is the place of

THANKSGIVING

because

HE has never

&

will never

LET GO of your rope.

LOOK UP & TRUST & LET GO

by

SURRENDERING

to the

ONE

who is

holding onto you so tightly

that

the end of your rope becomes your new beginning

as GOD does what HE does best

&

never LETS GO of you.

Let's

LIVE IN GRATITUDE

&

shout

THANK YOU GOD

because

"HE WON'T LET GO" (listen to the song below)
