Team Talk
The Bay Talks….
By Ash
I don’t know about you but I simply love the Irish. I always believed that I will grow up
to marry an Irish man. But that is a topic for another day. The Irish has this saying that I
always loved. “May the bridges I burn light the way.”
Most people don’t understand the importance of burning bridges. They try and hold
onto every little detail. Just in case. Just in case they might need something from
someone one day. I am always reminded by what happened to Lot’s wife when she
looked back.
Sometimes, just sometimes, God wants us to let go. He can see all things. Every
blockage, every emotion, everything, holding us back. Preventing His completed work
in us to happen. God doesn’t like us holding on. Trust me on this one. It slows down His
plans for us. It doesn’t stop it. Nothing can stop God’s plans for our lives. Nothing. But if
we hold on to what lies behind us, there will always be something stopping us from the
finish work of Christ within us.
Letting go means that you are brave enough to trust God. You are risking it all because
you are obedient to Him. Abraham was asked to sacrificed his son. Jesus sacrificed His
life for a greater purpose.
We are on this earth only for a certain amount of time. And truly a small amount if you
really think about it. Don’t spend your life crossing back and forth over bridges.
Burn those bridges. Watch the fireworks as it lights the way to a sky full of lighters. Just
for you.
Cross your bridges in faith. Trusting in “what lies before you is, more important than
what lies behind you. “Having faith in things unseen. That is courage.
In the end, maybe that is what God expects from us. Putting Him first and following
Him. Leaving behind the things binds us. That to me, is true freedom.
