...hope

Dear Friend,
"Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." - 1 Thessalonians 5:18

"It's impossible." 
"It's over." 
"It's incurable." 
"It's beyond repair."
"There's nothing more we can do."

These are some of the things the world tells us when we are faced with insurmountable odds.  recovery, redemption and reconciliation seem too far away.  Perhaps we have come to the conclusion that we've done all we can and there is nothing more we can do.  We have reached what the world tells us is the end of our rope.

And based upon my own experience, I've learned that when we reach the bottom of our proverbial ropes, there's only one thing we can do...
    Let go.
    Quit struggling.
    Let God take it from here.
   And have faith that when you let go, He will catch you and save you according to His purposes and His plans.

It isn't until you forego trying to save yourself is He able to come in and rescue you - to where there will be no doubt that it was He who saved you.
