What do you need to let go of?
Letting go.. or saying "no" can be SO HARD!
We don't want to, we'd rather be awesome, all the time, in all the things!
BUT... is that really working for you and your people?
What do you need to steward
(manage, maximize or multiply)
better?
Do you need to let go of something
so that you may better steward something of more value…
for a season?
I have been asking God, and myself, this question a lot lately. I tend to beg God for quick clarity, but then I'm reminded that clarity for direction is often a process of many conversations that lead to more questions and deeper revelations. (personally, I think that God just likes it when we talk to Him)
It's good. Refining.
It is helping me discern, and I am thankful to look back and see how God keeps leading me to my next “small lit step”.
So, is this question for you too?
Try asking it this way…
Maybe you have some clarity for your next right step.
You know some non-negotiables that you will say “yes” to and steward better,
but then there are those things that you just aren't sure of - yet.
If that is you, then consider asking these further questions…
1. What thing do you want to steward better?
2. Would it be helpful if you were to let go of something?
3. If you let go of that thing, could you thrive in a more valuable area… for a season?
4. What is something that you may need to let go of?
Is it an ideal?
A fear?
A business?
A hobby?
A relationship?
An unhealthy habit?
A distraction?
An overly full calendar?
A task that could be delegated?
Rigidity?
Perfection?
Expectations of others?
A deeply rooted bitterness?
or _____________________??
Remember, “it is good to look at BOTH sides of a matter”..
Like, choosing to say “no” to some-thing for a season may not mean that the thing is bad, but it may not be what is best, for now.
(unless, of course, that thing is actually bad for you!..
Oh God, please help us let that thing go!)
I know. This might be tough.
Letting go of something,
so that you may better steward and thrive in a more seasonal thing is tough,
and may actually lead you to some deeper questions, like…
Hey friend...
