Let Go, Let God.

Currently, I'm much in the need of just letting God take over my life in places where I want to control, especially when that control isn't within my capacity. Trusting God and just placing our problems in Him sounds so easy, but when you like to know where things are going and how they're going to play out, it's so difficult to do. I thought I'd paste some quotes from where I found this picture. While the great majority speak on forgiveness, I think they're still prevalent to what the message is: Let Go, Let God.


“Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.”  - Paul Boese
“Letting go doesn’t mean giving up. It means moving on.”  - Anonymous
 “Some of us think holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is letting go.”  - Herman Hesse
“One problem with gazing too frequently into the past is that we may turn around to find the future has run out on us.”  - Michael Cibenko.
“Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.”  - Oprah Winfrey
“Inner peace can be reached only when we practice forgiveness. Forgiveness is letting go of the past, and is therefore the means for correcting our misperceptions.”  - Gerald Jampolsky
“Let go. Why do you cling to pain? There is nothing you can do about the wrongs of yesterday. It is not yours to judge. Why hold on to the very thing which keeps you from hope and love?”  - Leo Buscaglia
“Suffering is not holding you. You are holding suffering. When you become good at the art of letting sufferings go, then you’ll come to realize how unnecessary it was for you to drag those burdens around with you. You’ll see that no one else other than you was responsible. The truth is that existence wants your life to become a festival.”  - Osho

Though it may sound simple, I think the ever-smiling venerable Buddhist monk, Ajahn Chah’s advice sums it up best: “If you let go a little, you will have a little peace. If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace.”
