I’d never really understood until just now – I’ve just had a revelation – exactly what Jesus meant when He said that…

Yes, I knew in general – but not specifically as He’s now applied it to me…

We all have people who are very close to us…

But not all of those people are people who the Lord has chosen us to walk with for the rest of our lives on earth…

There is a letting go…

Old relationships – people whom we’ve looked up to and served under – there is a letting go – when the Lord calls us on there is a letting go and in that sense we leave the dead to bury their own dead…

They are left and we are taken on to what the Lord has for us…

We’re not rejecting them – we’re just taken on…

And there are new people brought to minister with us in this place…

New authority structures…

We move on – we have been prepared – we have been blessed from their input and then they’re ‘over’ us no longer…

We are free…

I just had a moment where I saw this…

I am free…

Letting go can be hard but when all we want to see is the Lord it gets a lot easier…

We can see the Lord directly or through each other – the ones He brings across our path as we’re serving Him – or even the ones He brings when we’re trying to get away from Him at times (I smile)…

Love You Lord…

You are so good…

You are so flexible…

You are always moving us on – when we are surrendered to You…

We have the inner peace – those around us may not understand but we know…

We believe the Lord, not man…

We leave the dead to bury their own dead…

We don’t love our own ‘flesh and blood’ more than we love Him…

We ‘hate’ our own ‘flesh and blood’ in comparison to our love for Him…

And we are free…
