What if I let go

And I am finally doing a Five Minute Friday linkup! (Click here to see the linkup) 

Yeah ok... so it's a wee bit after midnight... but it is still Friday in some time zones! 

Anyways... The word is IF.  

Ready go! 

The first phrase that comes to mind is "what if?"  God has been teaching me how to look at life differently.... through His eyes... and so here is a poem that is a positive spin of the What if game.

What if I truly believed
in God's great love for me?
What if I fully trusted
that Jesus has won the victory?

What if I stopped questioning
and just rested in God's embrace?
What if I listened only
to His voice of truth and grace?

What if I approached life
from the perspective of eternity?
What if I walked in faith
and let God's Spirit lead?

What if
I just let go
and let God

I would rise like the eagle
soar in the light of dawn
with a heart full of joy
and a song of hope on my tongue

If I hold fast to the promises
of the great God who made me
He will ever be my strength
and breath life into my dreams 



Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. ~ Prov 3:5-6

Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” ~ John 8:31-32
​

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. ~ Isaiah 40:30-31

I love that we both wrote “what if” poems, Angela! It always amazes me how we can all start with the same word and create something all our own! “A heart full of joy and a song of hope” I love that!

Thank you, and yes, it's wonderful how God can use creative flow to start with the same idea and do something just as beautiful but different with it!
