Let Go
=======
.
One day while climbing towards a high cliff a man slipped and
fell over the edge.
.
Frantic - he grabbed at a branch jutting out from a tree and
yelled out,
.
“Oh, God, help me.”
.
He looked down while holding on tight and saw only jagged rocks.
.
Clutching even tighter to the branch he cried out again,
.
“God…Please help me.”
.
Suddenly he felt God’s presence and heard God ask,
.
“My son, what can I do for you?’
.
The man, somewhat relieved, answered,
.
“Please God, help me. Save me.”
.
God said quietly,
.
“Do you love me?
.
Do you trust me?
.
Do you believe in me?”
.
“Yes, yes, I love you. I trust you and I believe in you,”
the man shouted.
.
“Well, if indeed you love me, trust me, and believe in me,
.
LET GO.”
.
With some hesitation and another look below at the jagged rocks,
the man asked,
.
“Is there anybody else up there I can talk to?”
.
We often seek other answers when our real answer can only come
when we “Let Go” of some things.
.
Though the above is an often-told joke, it is a true parable.
So often in counseling, I tell people the same thing.
.
“You have got to let go. That situation is killing you.
It is killing your peace, your finances, and your future.
.
You must let go!”
.
Often they will inwardly feel just as the hanging man asked,
.
“Is there anybody else that I can talk to, because I am afraid
to let go? I know the situation is killing me, that’s why I’m
here. I know that what I am holding on to is destined to die.
I know I cannot fully live while I remain embraced with it.
.
But I am soooo… afraid.
.
Afraid that I might fall if I let go.”
.
Like a person on drugs, you often must “come down” before you

TIS THE SEASON FOR GIVING….IT’S NOT ALL ABOUT THE MONEY
One day a man saw an old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her.
Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn’t look safe; he looked poor and hungry.
He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt. It was the chill which only fear can put in you.
