No matter if we are 6 months, 2 years, 30 or 75 we favor the stubbornness inside. The weight that holds us down.

Tummy time that will teach us how to crawl. From food that will nourish\u00a0us. A change that will grow us. A letting go that will heal us.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Do you see it?

Satan&#8217;s tool to hold us in the dark.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What if we could escape its grip? What if we could see light, hold light, embrace Light? What if we let it go? Let the stubbornness inside fall? And in its place hold onto the\u00a0good thing. The thing that will change us, grow us, shape us into something beautiful.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Why do we resist brokenness? The brokenness that will heal us, make us whole again.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s okay to let it go. Let go of the stubborn ache inside.
