maybe life is not about what you hold onto but about what you let go of".

I don't remember where I heard this quote, " maybe life is not about what you hold onto but about what you let go of". I don't remember if it was on a movie, a tv show? But I heard it last week and it keeps replaying on my mind.
There is so many ways this quote has meaning in my own life.
I have been focusing on the latter part of the quote and wondering what are some things that I could let go of that would increase my quality of life for myself or family.
Certainly many of us could find regrets to let go of, or hurts, relationships, habits, routines, and activities.
I can truly see  holding onto anger or grudges instead of letting those go would decrease quality of life.
Are there areas personally that I'm holding onto trying to grip, where I should be letting go?
How about letting go of old mindsets and perspectives?
Letting go of fear?
Letting go of others opinions and judgements?
Letting go of  shame, disgrace, and condemnation of yourself or of others?
How does this quote stir you?
It's possible that  you can gain a whole lot more by letting go.

Hope

Hope. Have you ever heard someone say "I don't want to have false hope"? Have you ever thought that you had hope but then something triggered and you lost hope? Do you know that His word says "hope is for things unseen, that if you hoped for things that could be seen -that is no hope at all". So hope is for the very things that we end up letting go for. When everything in the natural says "give up, it won't happen, it's not possible, I tried for too long and never saw", when circumstances in life seem to be the very opposite of what you hope for that is when it becomes hope and you anchor that hope so that it does not waver in the waves and storms. Hope is for when you can't imagine or see how it could be possible. There is no such thing as false hope. Hope deferred makes the heart sick. It's not that the things in life didn't line up with our hope but that we put off hope this allowing an environment of toxins. Putting off hope

You are a light

How can you be a light unto the world if you seclude yourself from it and people? So what if someone's posts something that you don't agree with or is critical (please stop regulating your Facebook). Also, do what if people or family are alcoholics, have differing view points, use angry words, made mistakes, or whatever the case. How will the world ever see light, hope and love if the ones who believe He loved us first so we can love, shut them out!? How can you minister to the hurting if you pick up an offense. Maybe your judging them for the very same thing that's missing in you... The lack of awareness of the depths of His love and mercy! Walk a mile in His shoes... It will carry you throughout the world

The Father Delights In You

Do you know how pleased the Father is with you? He delights in you. You cannot earn his love and affection! Zephaniah 3:17 says the Lord your God is with you he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing! Take peace of mind today that you are deeply loved, unconditionally and that the father dotes on you, that you have captured his heart and he smiles when he thinks of you❤️. It does not matter anymore if you did not have an earthly father who loved you, doted on you, and took great delight in you. If you struggle to find acceptance in your relationships, if you feel like you have to constantly "do" in order to please people and earn their love and affection, if people have abandoned you,mistreated you, etc. Grab hold of the truth that you cannot be any more loved than you already are, you are more than accepted... you are affirmed as his daughter in whom he delights so much that it causes hi
