Our hands are only so big; our grasp
only so wide. Even as we use both hands, our arms can bear only so much weight.
Our lives, like our hands, can hold
only so much. We learn to put things down, then pick others up, sometimes
unsure about what needs holding next, trying to find and keep a right rhythm.
And, then we resort to juggling – only to discover that our coordination can’t
keep everything up. We disappoint ourselves, and others, by what we drop.
In those moments when we are
surrounded by what remains of over-extending our reach and our purpose, it is
healing to remember that “release” is a gift from God. It is a comforting gift
of the Holy Spirit when you are freed of what keeps you from living the life
for which God make you. It is a powerful act of your discipleship when your
faithfulness helps another person to discover how Jesus can bring release into
any situation, in any life.
Tomorrow as we worship God
together, my sermon series continues about S.T.A.R.T.
2012 Strong learning about the key word “Release.” Come learn about how God
will loose what you need to let go, and how God wants to use you to release
others.
