Here is a most useful phrase which I use every day
iFor i recalibrates my mind, will and emotions!
“LET GO, HOLD ON, RISE ABOVE”
Let go of: what we can’t keep or control,
Hold onto: what is eternal
Rise above: the challenges of life.
It comes from Colossians 3:1&2
“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ,
set your hearts on things above,
where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
Set your minds on things above,
not on earthly things.”
Since we are now in the Kingdom of God,
we can focus on what is above, not just on things on the earth by
letting go, holding on, rising above.
Some examples:
Let go of people’s negative comments
Hold on to Jesus’ love for me,
Rise above the conflicts of life
Let go of my anger
Hold onto Jesus power to protect
Rise above the hurtful events of life.
Let go of my disappointments
Hold on to Jesus’ wisdom and goodness
Rise above the failures of others.
Let go of my idols (whatever I demand to be happy),
Hold onto the God who knows what I really need,
Rise above the pettiness and disappointments of life.
Try it!
