Our Daily Journey
I had not learned to let go with the hands,
As still I have not learned to with the heart,
And have no wish to with the heart--nor need--
That I can see. The mind--is not the heart.
I may yet live, as I know others live,
To wish in vain to let go with the mind--
Of cares, at night, to sleep; but nothing tells me
That I need to learn to let go with the heart.
We learn to let go with our hands for many reasons.
And we have to let go with the mind - troubling thoughts, grudges and especially memories of sin we've confessed and made right with God.
-Hold on to the lasting things of the heart-
Our faith in the truth of God's Word, and in the saving grace of Jesus
