Giving Up and Letting Go

Giving up implies a struggle
Letting go implies a partnership

Giving up says there is something to lose
Letting go says there is something to gain

Giving up dreads the future
Letting go looks forward to the future

Giving up lives out of fear
Letting go lives out of grace and trust

Giving up is defeat
Letting go is victory

Giving up is unwillingly yielding control to forces beyond myself

Letting go is choosing to yield to forces beyond myself

Giving up believes that God is to be feared
Letting go trusts in God to care for me.
