Holding On

One of my sister's friends posted this as their status on facebook, and I think I can relate to part of it at the moment so I wanted to share:


Our most difficult internal struggles, when finally overcome, create the deepest inner strengths. The struggle comes from holding on... to how it was, how we think it should be, or the pain of why it's not. When we let go with full faith that we can navigate our way through any perceived storm, everything we're afraid of losing is given to us... in forms we couldn't possibly have imagined. Our strength comes from exercising our ability to let go by faith and with grace... to find that love has been right there in front of us the whole time... taking on many roles, forms, and reflections... just waiting to be recognized by the clear heart.
