What we hold dear, we must learn how to let go.
We must willingly part as though we hated
Hatred does not sense loss, yet we are not called to hate
Only to live in such a way that enables us to press onward for God's kingdom
We cannot give God our all if we cannot set aside all we possess
If what we consider ours is dearer than He we have committed idolatry
God calls us to love others as ourselves, but do not place them above Him
We must let go of all we claim as ours in order to fully receive His love
If we cannot then we forever place idols on God’s throne, which is our heart
God gave the ultimate sacrifice for us, should we not give up all for Him?
If we desire to show our love for Him and submit to His will
We must be able to give up all we cherish on earth to Him
His love overflows our capacity, in that way it spreads to others
That they may see it and inquire, then come to know Him who is love
As with everything else, let go the love you received from above
For it never diminishes, nor is it truly ours to withhold
Like all else, it belongs to Him, do not withhold from God what is His
Love does not grow stagnant like a pool, it continuously flows onward
Mountains become mighty falls, boulders create foaming rapids
Mountain and boulder, both mighty yet vulnerable to erosion by water
Same as hardened or thirsty hearts…love softens and quenches
The brokenhearted may find new life in love’s flowing waters
True love casts out fear and instills the heart with trust
Restrained, stagnation and infestation turn them bitter
Therefore let love flow freely throughout your life and be amazed
Whenever we offer God our all, He will use it
He does not always require us to forsake possessions
What counts is that we acknowledge from whence they came
Also, if we show the willingness to give up what we have for Him
If possessions, we sense no loss should they perish
If we refuse to let loved ones go we risk bitter torment for years to come
Entrust to the Lord all you have, and He will bless you beyond imagination
Do not think in temporal terms, for His true blessings are eternal
While He may indeed bless you here on Earth, true riches await beyond
Be that as it may…may God Bless you

The brokenhearted may find new life in love’s flowing waters
True love casts out fear and instills the heart with trust
When love washes over and around us we are washed anew
Faith and hope go hand in hand with love
Love, the mighty river; faith the buoy that guides us through any storm
Hope, the vessel which keeps us afloat and able to follow God's course
Do not let selfish desires restrain the love God provides
Unleashed, water and love exhibit insurmountable powerRestrained, stagnation and infestation turn them bitter
