Since my children were born, I’ve known that God has a plan for their lives, an eternal purpose for each one of them. A purpose to bring honor and glory to Him. For this, He has gifted each one of them and given them each a passion for something. (Even if they’re unsure of what that is now.) So in my season of preparing to let go of my children, I hold on to the knowledge that God loves each one of them deeply and that He has a great adventure prepared for them. One where they will know Him more intimately and personally. One where they will be salt and light pointing others to God.
I have rediscovered a song from the Sidewalk Prophets called This is not Goodbye from their Live Like That CD. It’s a beautiful song that speaks to this very idea of letting go so that someone you love can go be who God created them to be. Enjoy…with Kleenex.
