The Cost

Linking with Charlotte at Spiritual Sunday  and Laura at Faith Filled Friday

"I know that the whole point—the only point—is to find the things that matter.....and hold on to them...and fight for them, and refuse to let them go." Lauren Oliver

I think there's a fine thread between knowing when to hold on and when to let go.  Sometimes the things that matter most.....are things that make my heart bleed. The pain makes me hang on.....instead of letting go.

It's 'cause I can see something in the distance....a brilliant something or other that I know I need to reach. I can't let go. I tell myself to fight with everything I got....to fight for the truth and right and good. I simply can't give in....at least not until He says 'it's time to let go....it's time for Me to do the rest alone.'  

There's a cost involved in the fight....a sacrifice to be made.....but I'm realizing no sacrifice is too great when He's my running partner.

I'm realizing the cost.....I'm standing in the storm but I'm willing to fight.......
