Let it Go

Yesterday's post was pretty theological. Today is practical.
God has been speaking to me the last few weeks. He has been saying, "Let it go."
I have not seen Frozen. I haven't even heard the full song, Let it Go. But, I know that God has been speaking those words to me a lot recently. He means the same thing as "Die to self", but it sounds more pleasant.
When I have the opportunity to be offended, God says, "Let it go." When I start to get angry, God says, "Let it go." When thoughts of worry or anxiety come, God is saying, "Let it go." I have learned that there is much freedom and joy in choosing to just let things go.
Choosing to let things go is a step of trust. I am saying that I trust God enough to let Him handle things.
Recently, I felt that I had been misunderstood in a big way, judged by what someone thought I would think without ever asking me. There was a part of me that wanted to defend and explain, but God spoke those words, "Let it go." God told me to stop the mental explanations, to stop formulating a defense. As I chose His way, I found joy, and peace, and freedom.
