You Can Let Go Now : It's Okay to Be Who You Are

Are you tired of the never-ending struggles Tired of grasping, clawing, plotting and striving to achieve your dreams Have you found your heart aching for something deeper and more enduring? Many believe that security, accomplishments, and possessions will give them identity. Yet the more you struggle for your identity, the more it eludes you. It isn't until you are free to let go of the grasping and the grabbing that you find out who you are. In this book, Mark Chironna shows letting go in action by putting you inside the skin of Jacob. Litterally a "grabber" from birth, Jacob emerged from the womb clutching the heel of his twin brother. For years this second son lived in his brother Esau's shadow, struggling to prove his way through life until an encounter with God showed him how to let go and find his destiny as a prince among men. "Let go of the lie that you can never lay hold of what your heart dreams of," says Chironna. "Reject the lie that everyone is out to deny you of your true-to-God existence. Let go of the belief that the struggle is with someone else; it is with yourself. Cheer up; you can, and you will let go, and your deepest longings will be deeply satisfied!" When will it be okay for you to be you? When you can't let go of your dominant need When you can't let go of your need to compete When you can't let go of your need to have it all now! When you can't let go of the fear of not being around anymore When you can't let go of being the person you were never born to be When you can't let go of the mask that hides the real you When you can't let go of running for your life When you can't let go of trying to get past your past When you can't let go of believing you are alone When you can't let go of living an unconscious life When you can't let go of unworthy suspicions about God's goodness When you can't let go of being blinded by love When you can't let go of the one fear that won't go away You can let go now : it's okay to be who you are When you can't let go for love's sake. Dr. Mark Chironna uses the life of Jacob to illustrate how we can let go of our need-driven existence and become the people God designed us to be.
