"Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:13-14
Sometimes, we just have to let things go. And sometimes, the things we must let go of aren't necessarily bad, but they must be left behind in order for us to move forward with God's calling on our lives. Just because it's a godly thing doesn't mean it's what God wants for your life at this time. In fact, more times than not, God calls people OUT of their place of contentment.
It's a lot easier to let go of something bad or something that is causing problems in our lives than it is to let go of something that is good, something you enjoy.
Glory to glory: Letting go of something good to get something better.
However, that 'something better' initially may not seem as such. But if you trust God and are obedient to step out in faith, He will eventually work all things out for your benefit, whether that be a place of contentment, growth, or trial.
"Prune off the activities that fill your day but don't add to your life. Sometimes we hold onto assignments that God is finished with for us. Ask God for wisdom, then walk away from tasks He is no longer asking you to do. Make room for new life to flourish through the work of your hands." Joyce Meyer, Starting Your Day Right
