Entrust your loved ones to  Me; release them into My protective care. They are much safer with  Me than in your clinging hands. If you let a loved one become an idol in  your heart, you endanger that one—as well as yourself. Remember the extreme  measures I used with Abraham and Isaac. I took Isaac to the very point of death  to free Abraham from sonworship. Both Abraham and Isaac suffered terribly  because of the father’s undisciplined emotions. I detest idolatry, even in the  form of parental love.
When you release loved ones to  Me, you are free to cling to My hand. As you entrust others into My care, I am  free to shower blessings on them. My Presence will go with them wherever  they go, and I will give them rest. This same Presence stays with you, as you  relax and place your trust in Me. Watch to see what I will do.
When they reached the place God  had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He  bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then he  reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of  the Lord called out to him  from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied. “Do not lay a hand on  the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God,  because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.” —Genesis 22:9–12
Now to him who is able to do  immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at  work within us… —Ephesians  3:20
The Lord replied, “My Presence will go  with you, and I will give you rest.” —Exodus  33:14
