We all struggle against
something that deep down inside we realize that we need to “lose” in our lives,
to set aside, to get free from. We struggle with such matters for years,
perhaps, until it is suddenly and mysteriously time for us to let go. (God’s time is the best time of all.)
I remember when it came time for
me to quit smoking, so let me use that as an example. At that time, one of the
things that discouraged me was the fear that life as I knew it was
coming to an end, and I couldn’t imagine what that would be like or how it
would be possible. After all, I didn’t know how to live as a non-smoker.
The truth of the matter,
however, is that once we are committed to letting go of something, and
have asked God for help, we discover a new way of living that is so much better
than the former way of life that we can’t understand why we waited so long in
the first place. And so, my friends, if at this time you find you are being
called to lose something in your life, ask God for miraculous help to let it
go. You will find far more than you are losing.
