What if the reason you have not stepped into what God has for you is because you are still holding onto something He has been asking you to release?

“The longer you entertain what’s not for you, the longer you postpone what is.”

That will preach.

Sometimes we keep giving our time, energy, attention, and emotions to things that are no longer helping us become who God has called us to be.

It might be a relationship.

A habit.

An old hurt.

A disappointment.

A way of thinking.

Or even a season that God has already brought to an end.

Isaiah 43:18–19 says, “Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing.”

Sometimes we are asking God to do something new while we are still clinging to something old.

There comes a moment when faith says, “I am going to trust God enough to let this go.”

You do not have to understand everything God is doing before you obey Him.

You just have to believe that whatever God asks you to release is never greater than what He is preparing you to receive.

So stop giving yesterday permission to steal today.

Release what God has been telling you to release.

Take the next step.

And keep walking.

Because what you are leaving behind may feel familiar, but what God is leading you toward could be better than anything you have imagined.

My friend, do not be afraid to let go. Your story is not ending. God may simply be making room for the next chapter.
