Sing it with me… I loved singing this song as I was growing up. It’s written by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I honestly can’t remember any other song that they wrote. But I remember this one. It’s stuck with me through the years. And as I’m singing this song in my head right now, I can’t help but think of a few things I need to give away today. So, with that said…
Here’s a few things I need to give away…
The need to always be right
The feelings of anger at myself
The feelings of anger at others
The need to be in control
The feelings of inadequacy
The feelings of bitterness towards people who hurt people I love
The need to be liked
The need to appear to have it all together
The need to look religious
The fear of what others think about me
The fear of failing
Sometimes, the things I hold on to above get in the way of how I parent and they can affect my relationships. So, if I’m being honest, those are just a few things that I need to give away today.
What about you? What are some things you need to give away?
Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. 1 Peter 5:7
