Letting Go

Jesus, I give in. Mainly because I'm exhausted of trying to steer my life where I think it should go. Because that hasn't worked so far anyway.

Years ago I told you I wanted to follow you my whole life long because I'm in love you.

And, I want to keep that promise. Because, I don't want to go where you are not taking me and because, even after everything that has happened this year, I've found I'm still hopelessly in love with you.

So, I will follow you wherever you want to take me. And wherever means wherever. Even to this valley. Even to wherever you want to take me next year. To new or old. To familiar or unfamiliar. It's out of my hands. As it should be.

You have shown me that you are the only one worth my worship and you have helped me to break free from the bondage of deep seated idolatry. You actually did it when I thought it was impossible and when I knew I didn't deserve it. And you showed me that when everything is said and done, what really matters is the only thing that remains, which is you and only you.

So how can I not follow you. It's you and me Jesus. As it should have been in the first place.

Here's to a deeper experience and understanding of what it means to follow you.

I give you my present and future.

Your turn.
