FINDING PEACE: THE FREEDOM OF LETTING GO.

There was a time in my life when I thought I could make everyone happy. Funny, right? I don’t even know where that belief came from, but I was always trying so hard to please people. Guess what? I failed. Miserably.

That failure hit me hard. It left me feeling devastated and inadequate. No matter how much effort I put in, it was never enough. The more I tried, the more I lost something precious: my peace of mind.


A Life-Changing Realization

Along the way, I discovered something life-changing—it’s impossible to make everyone happy.

I came to terms with the fact that:

  • It’s not my responsibility to solve everyone’s problems.
  • Happiness is an inside job—it’s something each person must find for themselves.

Once I let go of that unrealistic expectation, my life changed for the better.

Letting Go and Finding Peace

I’ve learned to stop carrying burdens that aren’t mine. I now understand that:

  • There are problems I can’t fix.
  • Some situations are beyond my control.

And you know what? That’s okay.

Here’s the truth that guides me now:

Do your best and leave the rest.






When faced with challenges beyond my control, I lift my eyes to the hills, trusting that God will take care of the rest.

My Best Is Enough

I’m at peace—not because life is perfect or free of problems, but because I’ve embraced this truth: My best is enough.

If you’re reading this and you’ve been carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, it’s time to let go. Do your best, and leave the rest. Your peace is waiting on the other side of that release.

Your Turn

Love Yourself — Unapologetically.

Image
The moment you choose to be happy and start thinking of yourself too—caring about yourself—that moment, it might feel like you're being selfish. But trust me, that's not it. It's called self-love. And it's perfectly fine that you've chosen to make yourself a priority—not just making those around you happy while you ignore yourself. I remember a time when I believed putting myself first meant I was letting others down. I kept saying yes to everything, even when I felt drained. The truth? I was afraid of being seen as selfish. But eventually, I realized that constantly giving without refilling my own cup was leaving me empty. Learning to love myself unapologetically wasn't easy, but it was necessary. You are deserving of love. But first, love yourself. You are worth much more than gold. But first, be worthy in your own eyes too. You deserve the best and nothing but the best. So go ahead—put a smile on your own face. Embrace the joy you bring to others and give som...

When Touching the Basket Meant Death

Image
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been studying the books of the Old Testament. And one thing keeps jumping at me — the level of grace we as believers under the New Covenant enjoy today. Grace freely brought to us through Jesus Christ. Just recently, we got a new offering basket for the fellowship. While washing it in readiness for Bible Study this evening (it had gathered some dust and stains from the store), my mind drifted back to those Old Testament times — when everything used in God’s temple had to be handled in a very specific way and only by certain people. In those days, if you weren’t a descendant of Aaron or a Levite, you had no right to touch anything connected to the temple. And it wasn’t just a rule — it was a matter of life and death! I remember Uzzah, who died instantly for touching the ark of the covenant when it was about to fall (2 Samuel 6:6–7) . He was trying to help, yet he died for it. But here I was — washing the fellowship’s offering basket with ordinary kitchen so...
