Well, while listening to David Crowder's song "Never Let Go", I got to seriously thinking about those words. What does it mean to NEVER let go of something. What do I think of never wanting to let go of? I kept coming back to the thought of a small child never letting go of anything. Their favorite toy? Maybe. A "security blanket"? Better. A Father's (or Mother's) hand? Perfect. A child never lets go of a parent's hand. They feel so safe and they trust it with all of their might.
How do I look at God? I know He's the maker of the universe, right? I know He's sent His Son to pay for my sins too. Do I give him the same amount of trust? Do I never want to let go of Him? Unfortunately, we do let go way too often. I don't think we want to let go of our grip on our own lives. We act like we are the boss. I must be honest, I truly feel ashamed to think about doing this. I feel that my pride of self-control kicks in way too much. I've heard it best put as "being saved but thinking like I'm still lost".
I really want to trust Him more; put my entire focus on faith in the perfect Father. He wraps His arms around me and never lets go. He's always looking to hold on just a bit tighter and teach us how to grow. We just have to loosen our grip on ourselves and give up on struggling for control. We are not the one in control and we are just fooling ourselves if we think we have any. Thank God for a better understanding of His love and jealousy over us, His children. To Him be the glory!
