🕊️ Walking With Jesus — Learning to Let Go
🕊️ Walking With Jesus — Learning to Let Go
There is a point on the walk with Christ when striving quietly gives way to surrender.
Not because we stop caring.
Not because questions disappear.
But because we finally trust Him enough to hand things over.
This walk was never meant to be loud.
It was never meant to be forced.
And it was never meant to feel heavy.
Jesus said His yoke is easy and His burden is light — and I have found that to be true, but only after learning how to let go.
🤍 Turning Everything Over to Jesus
One of the most helpful invitations I ever received came from the writings and guided prayers of John Eldredge.
It was simple, and it was life-changing:
Give everything to Jesus.
Not just sins — but emotions.
Not just fears — but the body itself.
Not just questions — but the need to control the answers.
And then… see what happens.
When a person truly does this — without bargaining, without holding anything back — something begins to soften inside.
The heart loosens.
The body rests.
And Christ draws near.
✨ When You Let Go, You Start Seeing Him
When you stop gripping life so tightly, Jesus begins to show up in quiet, personal ways.
Not in dramatic displays — but in what I’ve come to think of as gentle winks.
Small helps.
Perfect timing.
Unexplained peace.
Moments that feel too kind to be coincidence.
These aren’t proofs meant for others.
They’re assurances meant for you.
Jesus loves to help His people — especially when they trust Him enough to let Him.
🎶 Why Music Matters on the Walk
One thing I’ve learned is this:
The body must rest before the Spirit can speak clearly.
Sacred, beautiful music helps do that.
Harmony, reverence, and gentle sound calm the nervous system and make room for God. Music prepares the inner space where Christ speaks quietly to the heart.
I want to say this plainly and with gratitude:
Some of the most beautiful sacred music in the world has come from the LDS tradition.
The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square
and the BYU Men's Chorus
have lifted countless souls toward peace, reverence, and worship.
Good music carries good fruit.
It stills the body.
It lifts the heart.
And it gently invites the Spirit.
🌈 Light, Love, Peace, and Oneness
As I’ve walked with Christ, four words have consistently returned to me — not as doctrine, but as fruit:
Light
Love
Peace
Oneness
Wherever Jesus is truly near, these fruits appear.
Across many true traditions, cultures, and sacred paths, the same pattern emerges when people draw close to Him. The language may differ, but the center remains the same.
Christ stands at the center — inviting, not forcing.
There are many paths that lead people toward Jesus.
But there is only one Jesus.
And He meets people where they are.
🪶 Many Ways, One Savior
Some come to Christ through scripture.
Some through music.
Some through stillness.
Some through suffering.
Some through quiet prayer while walking, working, or living ordinary life.
The method is not the point.
Relationship is the point.
Jesus does not demand a formula.
He offers companionship.
🌅 A Gentle Daily Invitation
This is not a rule — only an invitation:
• Begin the day with quiet or sacred music
• Offer your body, heart, and mind to Christ
• Ask for Light, Love, Peace, and Oneness
• Pray in your heart throughout the day
• Watch for His nearness
Scripture says to pray always — not meaning constant words, but constant openness.
Walking with Jesus becomes less about effort
and more about trust.
🤍 What This Walk Is Really About
This site, these writings, and these reflections are not meant to pressure, argue, or persuade.
They exist to gently point toward something simple and holy:
A real, lived walk with Jesus Christ.
One marked by peace.
One marked by love.
One marked by quiet trust.
Seeds grow in their own time.
And when the heart is ready, the Savior is already there.
🕊️ “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
🎥 If You’d Like to Continue the Walk
If this reflection resonates with you, I’ve also shared a quiet series of videos that simply explore what it means to walk with Jesus in everyday life — without pressure, without argument, and without urgency.
They’re meant to feel more like companionship than teaching.
You can find them here:
Feel free to watch at your own pace — or not at all.
This walk is personal, and Jesus meets each of us where we are.
