Are you willing to let go?

I continue to see my relationship with the Lord in new light as I parent my little girls. Today at snack time my little Sophie was asking for more milk and saying she was thirsty. As I reached for her cup to go refill it she held on to it with her whole being. I said, "Silly girl, if you don't give me your cup I can't get you more milk." When I heard myself say this to my daughter the proverbial light bulb went off in my mind. How many times have I cried out to the Lord for something or asked Him to meet my need yet was unwilling to let go of the very things He asked me to give up so that He could meet that need? Thank you Lord for this picture!
