Return to the Road to Freedom

When suddenly you seem to lose all you thought you had gained, do not despair. Your healing is not a straight line. You must expect setbacks and regressions. Don't say to yourself, 'All is lost, I have to start all over again.' This is not true. What you have gained, you have gained.

Sometimes little things build up and make you lose ground for a moment.It is important not to dwell on the small moments when you feel pulled away from your progress. Try to return home, to the freedom you always enjoyed.It is easier to return to the road when you are on the shoulder than when you are pulled all the way into a nearby swamp.

In everything you do, keep trusting that God is with you, that God has given you companions on the journey. Keep returning to the road to freedom, if you drift away.

Let go, Let God ( A Poem)

As children bring their broken toys with tears for us to mend,
I bought my broken dreams to God,
because He was my friend.
But then, instead of leaving Him at peace to work alone,
I hung around, and tried to help
with ways that were my own.
At last I snatched them back and cried,
"How can you be so slow?"
"My child, "He said, " what could I do? You never did let go."



After thought: Faith is handing something to God and taking my hands off it.
