“There is a curious comfort in letting go. After the agony, letting go brings numbness, and after the numbness, clarity. As if I can see the world for the first time, and my place in it, independent of you, a whole vista of what may be.

I will triumph over you.” IfsWorldFirstsMayI CanRealWholeFantasyComfortLetting GoFirst TimeBuiltIndependentClarityCuriousTriumphOver YouAgonyNumbnessVistas Author:Julie Berry

It's the fear of the thought that maybe, just maybe, a life going all in for God might mean we would have to let go of some of our stuff, our way of life, our comforts. That scares people. I know it scares me sometimes.” PeopleThinkingMeanSometimesComfortLetting GoGods WillScare Author:Matthew West
