Letting Go

I start every morning with coffee with God through daily devotions from Our Daily Bread. Today’s devotion is titled “Letting Go.” Cindy Hess Kasper wrote this devotion. The scripture reading is John 11:21–36 with the key verse, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful servants.”, Psalm 116:15. My beloved children, grandchildren, cousins, nephews, brothers, and sisters in Christ, for all I write, I first pray to God to guide my words to serve as spiritual food and guidance. I desire God to be my sole source of writing. All the credit goes to God, not me. I am his humble servant. I thank God that He led to use Our Daily Bread Ministries as my inspiration for comments.

I remember my sister telling me about our Dad’s last moments in this world. She said to him that everything is fine, and he can go home to The Lord. She said a moment later, he died. He is now in God’s presence.

It took a lot to let go of Dad. I am not sure if I would have been as resolved as she was. I miss my Dad a lot, but he is home with The Lord.

Jesus’ death on the cross is victory over the grave and sin. Anyone who believes in Him will have everlasting life. “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die” (John 11:25–26).

Reflect:

What did Jesus accomplish by His death on the cross? How does His sacrifice affect every person who has ever lived?

Prayer:

Precious Father, thank You for the promise of eternal life in Your presence.
