Let Go

My 1 month old son, Jude enjoys laying on his back and gazing up or to the side at the tv, probably because of the noise it makes, but sometimes when he turns his head to the side his hands flap around aimlessly. And now his new thing is the second I turn away he starts to scream, when I look at him he has reached back and has a handful of his own hair. His grip is so strong that as I try to force him to let go he begins to cry more because he pulls harder.

We are so much like that as children of God. God is our guide and always there, but sometimes we get ourself in our own mess and begin hurting ourself by pulling our own hair out...HE's there telling us to let go, but we are so focused and freaked out about the pain that we pull harder and can't let go.

What area of your life is God calling you to LET GO...
