When the Giver Learns to Let Go

A reflection on the sacred courage of releasing what will not grow

She was a giver —

the kind of soul who poured oceans of love

into others without hesitation.

ree

Her heart had no borders,

no fences, no caution signs.

She gave and gave,

believing that kindness

could soften even the hardest ground.


📖 "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." — Proverbs 4:23 (NIV)

What she didn’t realise —

not for the longest time — was this:

No matter how much love you pour into a rock,

it won’t soften.

It won’t grow.

It won’t change.


Some hearts are not ready

to receive what you carry.

And that’s not your fault.


Sometimes, the bravest thing

a tender soul can do

is to stop watering

what was never meant to bloom. 💔🌿


Prayer:

Lord, teach me the holy strength of release.

Show me how to love without losing myself,

to serve without striving,

and to let go without bitterness.

Help me trust that in Your timing,

every seed of love will find the soil it was meant for.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.


Affirmation:

I am a faithful giver, but I am not called to grow what God has not planted.
