We like to hold on to things so tightly, don’t we? Traditions… Family… Our plans… Stuff… We hold on to them so tightly and try to never let them go. That’s why life is filled with mourning: There are so many goodbyes. That’s why life is so hard during a pandemic: We’ve had to let go of so many things.
We shouldn’t be surprised. Here’s a powerful reminder from God’s Word: “Those who use the things of the world should not become attached to them. For this world as we know it will soon pass away” (1 Corinthians 7:31). It’s true, isn’t it? Instead of holding on to the things of this world, let’s hold on to Jesus. Better yet, remember Jesus is holding on to you. In a world of goodbyes, Jesus never lets you go.
