let it be...

One of the most powerful scenes I have seen in a long time.
This remains one of my favourite songs of all time. It has such a transcendent quality that is even more so illuminated in this video with the use of the gospel choir.

I love the words: Let it Be.



It's so important to remember, isn't it ? We can so easily forget that: things go on.

And it's so interesting that in our times of trouble, we are not told to fight it, let it consume us, let ourselves become controlled by it, try to control it ourselves.
We are told to let it be.

I have decided that, if anything, I am going to let God work in and through my life as He sees fit.
And yes, perhaps I have let myself taken control of the steering wheel for a while, and perhaps I have lost sight of where I need to go, and somewhere along the line I have forgotten who is in charge of my life.
Stupidly, I thought it was me.

But, the events of the last couple of days have taught me this: Just let him take over. He's been doing it for thousands of years. He's got a lot more experience than you do.
And no, I still won't call myself religious, I won't even call myself 'spiritual'. I want to go as far as to say: I have such a special relationship with Him that it can't be put into a box. It can't be defined because attempting to define it will diminish it's prominence.

I had a conversation with a dear friend of mine, the other day in which she asked me whether I believe in God. I hesitated to answer, not because I was ashamed of what I believe in, but because so many things were running through my head.
She then said: "Well I don't believe in God. But, if you can prove to me that He exists, I will believe you - I am agnostic."
To which I replied, "I most definitely believe there is a God, but I think everyone on Earth is in for a big surprise one day. Because He is so different from everything you have read, everything you have heard and everything you've seen. I think a lot of people have tried to put God into a box and therefore His magnificence has been diluted and diminished. I don't know about you, but I can't wait to be surprised."

But in the meantime, maybe we should let it be, let it go, let the river run, let the wind blow, let the loose, let it wander.
