Open Your Hands to Jesus

A friend once said to me, "When you are holding onto your burdens, you can't open your hands to embrace others."  I thought about that for a long time.  Only because I knew there were things that I was holding on to.  I can trust God with some things a lot easier than others.  I didn't realize that by hanging onto some of those things, I was keeping myself from loving others, embracing others, and feeling that embrace right back.
