Dear God,

One tiny leaf remains on the tree holding on for dear life.  All others let go a long time ago.  Why does it cling so tightly?

Such a sight challenges my own unwillingness to let go.  Some things I hold so close and so tight that I simply won’t surrender.  Yet, growth, peace and joy wait for my release. 

Holy God,

your call

is clear.

Surrender and trust.

So much

do you

want us

to hold loosely

to the things

of this world.

Instead help us

cling to you.

Love, Andrea
