de-clinging

Jonah 2:8 - Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs.

I really don't like static cling...that uncomforatble feeling when you take off a layer of clothing, and half your hair sticks to your face and neck. Or laundry when you've forgotten to put in the Bounce sheet. The only productive thing about static is sticking balloons on one's head. ;P

Slowly, but surely...I feel that I am becoming less and less attached to the things that I used to be. Even things that are good gifts from God...like family, friends, my own sense of security, etc. Not that I don't care about these things, or love ppl less, but the Lord is pointing to many things in my life, and I have to come to the obedience of saying yes to Him, "whatever you want Lord...you have every right to take it away, but I will still praise your name." And as many have shared, there's this overwhelming sense of unspeakable peace that we are safe in His grip when we've come to this point in our walk. I realize this feeling makes it that much easier to be flexible and moldable by God, as I see that it could be relatively easy to leave everything here behind when He calls me elsewhere someday.

As Roger says..."to love is to rest". And in God's perfect love, there is rest for our souls. :)

Have a blessed week, and taste and see that the Lord IS good.
