Letting Go
What might you need to release in order to step into what the Creator is already doing?
Isaiah 43:18-19
Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth—do you not perceive it?
The Creator doesn’t ask us to forget the past but invites us not to be defined by it. Isaiah speaks to a people steeped in memory—some of it painful, some comforting, but all of it weighty. Letting go of the “former things” isn’t denial, it’s a way to make space for something new.
Endings are hard, especially when they carry the sting of unmet expectations or fears about what comes next. But the One who led Israel through the sea and who breaks into human history as Emmanuel is a Creator of newness. Even now, They are birthing something tender and hopeful, right in the places where despair feels most at home.
Letting go isn’t an act of loss—it’s an act of trust.

Isaiah 43:18-19 is one of my favorite texts, but it never occurred to me that I could apply it to my own life. I needed this more than I can say. Thank you.
