The things we hold on to most are what keeps us from our increased union with Him. You held not one thing back. Holding on to things stops my freedom. To be totally free, I must let go. I cannot hold on and let go at the same time.
Freedom is obtained in letting go.
See yourself with your arms tight, holding on to all you possess. Open your arms as I did when I died on the cross. Let all your sacred worldly possessions drop around you and you will experience the joy of being free, united only to Me, of letting go and knowing that I, God, tend to your every need. To My death on the cross I loved you and I love you this way this very day. Let go and give it all to Me.
