"These things have served their purpose: let them be.
So with your own, and pray they be forgiven
By others, as I pray you to forgive
Both bad and good. Last season's fruit is eaten
And the fullfed beast shall kick the empty pail."
So with your own, and pray they be forgiven
By others, as I pray you to forgive
Both bad and good. Last season's fruit is eaten
And the fullfed beast shall kick the empty pail."
As I read little Gidding I definitely got lost sometimes but there were a few parts that really stuck out and made sense to me. This excerpt come from part II. It stuck out to me because I think it speaks to letting go of the past as well as realizing that everything has it's time and place in God's plan. Sometimes when something was very influential or effective, we want to stick with it and sometimes overuse and rely too heavily on it. Other times we just hold on to past situations, both good and bad too long. I think this excerpt does a good job of telling us to let the things of last season stay in last season and embrace the things God has in store for this season.
