A few cookie crumbs lay at the bottom of the cookie jar. A young boy has noticed and reached in to get them. When his hand closes around the crumbs however, his hand gets stuck and he cannot withdraw. About this time, his mother walks into the kitchen with an oven mitt on her hand. She opens the oven and pulls out a cookie sheet with fresh, warm, melty chocolate chip cookies.
"Son, if you let go of those crumbs, you may have a brand new, warm, ooey-gooey cookie."
What do you think was the boy's choice? He will not know the goodness of what is in store until he releases his hold on what he already has.
Live with open hands, my son. Be willing to let go of any treasured thing when God says "let go." If you hold on to what you *think* you want, you may miss out on what God says in best.
