A lot of things have been racing through my mind lately.
I downloaded a number of songs online today. Some of these songs are very old and remind me of certain key episodes of my life's journey.
I downloaded this song titled, "YES" by Shekinah Glory ministry and my mind was drawn to my second year in KNUST.
In my second year, there was a young man I really admired. I really really liked him and the prospects of we becoming an item was exciting. I could tell that he liked me too.
But, there was one thing: as mature and level-headed as he was, he had the tendencies of being vituperative at any given moment. Also, I realised that he was one person who changed his principles depending on who he was engaging with. This was of concern to me but, I really really liked him.
Deep down in my heart, I knew he wasn't right for me. But, my likeness for him was clouding my judgement.
One night, I was in Lovetta's (she is my soul sister) room when YES began to play on my phone. The words of the song cut through my heart and I wept bitterly. I knew I had to let go of him because he wasn't right for me. It was heart wrenching but I knew I had to part ways with this young man. I wept so hard and my friends, who were there at that moment were even confused.
I let go of him because I knew he was going to affect my relationship with God. Over the years, sometimes, there is that small ache but I do know that I made the right decision and I don't regret it at all.
You see, the messages we preach on Sharing Life are not out of mere knowledge. Our walk with Jesus produces in us experiences which we share for the edification of the brethren.
I am sure there are many more sacrifices to be made. Jesus Is Lord. He will not bring before us anything we cannot handle.
Be assured of this:
Whatever thing or person you would need to let go of for the sake of your relationship with Jesus is worth it. You will not understand the magnitude of the sacrifice until you get to the other side of your obedience and that is where you would realise that it was the best decision you made.
I pray for you today that you will receive strength in your innerman to take the needed decisions for growth.
I pray that you will find conviction on what is required of you in your relationship with Jesus Christ and the corresponding obedience to carry them out accordingly.
Finally, I pray that after you have let go, you will receive enough clarity to keep you focused as you press on in your relationship with Jesus. I pray you don't look back after you have let go.
In Jesus name,
Amen.
Love,
Sharing Life.
