Let It Go?!?!

In Walt Disney's animated movie, Frozen, there is a song entitled, "Let It Go". At first, you may think as others think...Of course, let it go. Let go of the past. Let go, Let God!

However, in this particular song, it couldn't be further from the truth. It talks about letting all of your feelings out---no matter what, no matter who is around, no matter who is living with you, etc. It also talks about slamming doors, being isolated, and basically being an ice queen.

It is the world's way of doing things. The world says, "Go ahead. Do whatever you want. Do whatever you feel like doing. No matter what. It doesn't matter. Shut yourself off from everyone. Act as badly as possible. Be as cold and heartless as you want. Nobody cares."

God's word says differently though. His thoughts and ways are higher than any human's thoughts and ways. (Isaiah 55:8-9)

God has given all of His children the fruit of the spirit. The fruit consists of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control. (Galatians 5:22-23)

Self-control. Get it! We, as God's children, can control our actions. We can choose to not act poorly. We can decide not to behave badly. We can choose not to let all of our feelings out on whoever is around us whenever we feel like it. It's called self-control---one of the fruits of the spirit.

Therefore, when the world tells you, "Let It Go!" Re-think it. Choose to be better than that and use your God-given self-control. Then, perhaps, the rest of the world will follow your example and "Let It Go!"
