Letting Our Children Go

Description

As a parent, few truths humble me more than remembering that our children are not ours, but they belong to God. Today I’m sitting with the beauty and challenge of letting go. We reflect on this sacred transition through the words of Kahlil Gibran and the wisdom of Secrets of Heaven, where Swedenborg reminds us that “the timing and states are known to the Lord alone, and He alone arranges and controls them” (Secrets of Heaven §3854). Our children are led by God in ways that often differ from our own paths, introduced into truth and goodness according to their unique character. Letting go isn’t giving up…it’s trusting that God is the true Archer, bending us with love so His arrows may fly far. Whether you’re a parent or simply someone who cares deeply, this is a message about love, freedom, and the quiet courage of faith. May we all grow into being that stable bow, anchored in God’s joy.
