This is something that I wrote about a year ago. Hope that you enjoy it!

Letting Go of the String

A recent "The Family Circus" cartoon pictures Jeffy and his dad outside flying kites. Jeffy’s kite has been launched and it is flying off into the distance. He says, "Look, Daddy! If you let go of the string, the kite goes higher!"

As I looked at the sketch in the comic section of our daily paper, I thought, "Is that what God says to us, ‘if you let go of the control strings of your life, your life will go higher!’"

So if we let go of our string, who will be in control?

It is God!

He wants to untangle the strings of broken relationships and impossible tasks. He wants to take our talents and abilities, which are flying along pretty well; to be released to His Control, so that they can fly to even higher, more lofty heights.God can be trusted, as we get to know Him better and better. We know that He loves us and will take care of us. All of the time. From today and through eternity. If we let go of our life kite strings, we will soar to the new levels for which He created each of us!
