Real people. Real testimonies from the “letting love go” series.

I recalled a dream I had & remembered I had to let go. I went to my friends list and deleted any guy who I had some kind of non-friendship only relationship with (example: puppy love, boyfriend, a date, a crush, fiancee, sexual partner, or even if he was just a guy who had once asked me for my number because he thought I was pretty or whatever… those kinds of relationships). Nobody knows these guys were little foxes but me. It’s only me who hold my own feelings.
It was hard deleting some of these guys! I argued with God…what if this is a life I can touch or turn around to you Lord? NO was the answer. Let go. Was I delirious? Anyways… like I said it was hard… the 2 guys I deleted last were hard-er. When you click on the X next to their name, it asks are you sure you want to remove this connection? My mouth was NO but somehow my heart & mind overcame & I clicked YES! Oh ya, while I’m doing this X-ing out/ deleting from my friends list, I’m crying. WHY? What the heck … they’re just names on the computer screen! Stop being sensitive. You’re not a crybaby! These were little foxes that were spoiling me… my heart, my mind, and maybe even my soul. So I broke these ties. As small as it maybe I know my outcome for my obedience will be greater. When I was done, maybe like 10 minutes after.. OK, maybe 30 minutes after… I felt a release. Like something was lifted…
OK, so after my long day, I check my facebook & see a new blog from a friend then an update from my other friend who wrote the note for that friend’s blog Guess what the title was? LETTING LOVE GO! Before I even read the blog, I already believe this is confirmation from God that I just did something really good today… even if it didn’t feel like it when I was doing it. The subtitle/title is “Before we can allow God to work in our lives, we need to first let go of the past and let God take hold of our lives.”
I took a moment of silence & reflection… thank you Jesus! I instantly knew & remembered (though I’ve heard it time & time again) that I need to FIRST let go of the past and let God take hold of my life. I’m not going to hold on to the past and let God take hold of my life. Thank you Jesus for letting this dream and blog fall before my eyes.
I’m loving the blog & all I read was that sentence/subtitle so far! It was better as I read on! I felt as if I was being spoken to directly. Thats just the season I’m in right now.
