Letting go is so often misunderstood. For many, it is seen as a weakness. As giving up. As walking away from faith instead of walking toward it. But sometimes, holding on becomes its own form of resistance. It isn’t strength, it isn’t obedience, it isn’t just control disguised as hope. The longer you hold on,…
