Let go of the Nut

In some countries monkey's are considered a delicacy. Sometimes they are captured by placing a nut inside of a large jar with a small opening just large enough for the monkey to stick his hand in but not large enough to pull his hand and the nut out. All he has to do is let go of the nut and his hand will come right out. But he will not let go. Once they are stuck someone comes and kills them. Because of their determination not to let go they loose their life. Have you ever held on to something so tightly and by your refusal to let go caused yourself pain and suffering? I sure have. Letting go is a hard thing to do. God tells us that we are to cast our cares upon Him. For some reason this sounds easier than it is.
