Let go and Let Christ!

There is Victory in Jesus!

Here are a few great passages I read tonight from The Secret of Christian Living.

"Victory is in letting go! Let go! Do not be afraid. You will not fall into eternity. You will fall upon the Rock of Ages. Let go your hand and you will overcome. Victory comes from Christ, not from you. Let go and let Christ, and it is done. For the life of victory is given to one who lets go completely."

"For victory is not proven by long waiting. Victory is believing that regardless the circumstances, the Lord lives in me and for me. Victory comes by one letting go and simply believing. If we fail to overcome, it is either due to our failure in letting go or due to our lack of believing. Otherwise there will be victory."

"To sum up, then, the secret of victory lies in (1) seeing our own impossibility, (2) letting go our hands, (3) seeing the Lord's ability, and (4) having living faith daily, believing that henceforth the Lord is going to live for us."

All of these passages reminded me of an age-old hymn titled none other than "Victory in Jesus".
