Don't Let Me Go

Today we had rehearsal for a big event in our lives. One of the largest groups to date, and by God's design we managed to finish early. Because we did, the pastor of the church had a brief moment to speak to us as a group. What he said impacted me and I wanted to share it with all of you.

He told a story of when he was young and he and his brothers and a few friends would play in their back yard together where a drain ran along the back of the yard. The drain was deep and wide and in it one day they spotted a shiny object.

None of them were able to reach it alone so they decided to form a human chain. Their strongest friend held onto a tree while the others linked arms and the smallest brother went in for the prize.

All the while, he was yelling "Don't let me go! Don't let me go!"

You see, we will be out with the prize in our sight and we need our strongest supporters forming that human chain holding us up to the Father.

And so, we plead with you, "Don't let us go!"
