Letting Go...It doesn't mean losing

Feeling the need (for me) to repost this. If any of you are like me, you look at your blog a bunch each day...today...I need to read this poem over and over.

Giving Up and Letting Go
Giving up implies a struggle -
Letting go implies a partnership
Giving up dreads the future -
Letting go looks forward to the future
Giving up lives out of fear -
Letting go lives out of grace and trust
Giving up is a defeat -
Letting go is a victory
Giving up is unwillingly yielding control
to forces beyond myself -
Letting go is choosing to yield to forces beyond myself
Giving up believes that God is to be feared -
Letting go trusts in God to care for me.
