Hardest Spiritual Lesson #1: Let Go
I wrote about some of the "hardest spiritual lessons" years ago on another blog of mine, but I am updating and reposting it here. These are normal, typical (often painful) lessons that we will all eventually struggle with (it's okay to struggle) if we continue to walk with God and to chase after a deeper relationship with Him. (And I know there are more than I've listed here.) In no particular order (and broken up into individual posts), here are some of the hardest lessons I've learned over the years when it comes to faith and walking with God: 1. Let Go or Hold on? Imagine you fell over the side of a cliff and are hanging onto a tiny root sticking out the side of the cliff with one hand, and God throws a rope down to save you. But in your other hand, you're holding onto a water bottle you think you need. You need both hands to grab the rope and climb, but you're afraid to let go of the water bottle. After all, we need water to live, right?
