I have learned that forgiveness is a must, to let hurts and wounds and offenses go, let them drop, give them to God once and for all. I have learned that God is trustable and that I should not keep a death grip on burdens I am not designed to bear, that Jesus wants to carry my burdens. If I cling to burdens instead of to Him, I am putting logs in the stream of life, the living water, that flows from His throne! I am saying to Him that His sacrifice wasn't enough for my sins, that I know better than Him what is right and good for my life. I learned that His grace is enough for me, that He is enough for me, that the knots and tangles and webs of life will easily beset us, but that refocusing on Jesus, giving Him our troubles and woes and trials and tribulation and burdens sets us free to love and serve Him with all that we are.
