I am approaching a time of change.
I feel sadness and loss, and some fear of the unknown.
But now I realise, Lord, that this stripping back of all I know is really a gift;
An opportunity to loosen my grip on these things
That I may be free to embrace you more fully and unhindered.
So lead me on, Lord, with joyful abandon
Into freedom and into You.
"If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it.
But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it."
Matthew 16:25
