Letting Go

Scripture  Philippians 3:7–14 (NRSV)  Yet whatever gains I had, these I have come to regard as loss because of Christ.  More than that, I regard everything as loss  because of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.  For His sake I have suffered the loss of all things,  and I regard them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ...  Not that I have already obtained this or have already reached the goal;  but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me His own.  Beloved, I do not consider that I have made it my own;  but this one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind  and straining forward to what lies ahead,  I press on toward the goal for the prize  of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus.Refrain  I let go, and I fall into grace.Quote  The Cloud of Unknowing  “Lift up your heart to God with a gentle stirring of love,  and mean God Himself, and not what you get out of it.  Do this and nothing more:  cover the naked intent with a cloud of forgetting—  forget everything else.  Let it be enough to simply rest in God,  not grasping, not reaching,  but being.”   Hosted on Acast.
