Let it Go

Someone emailed this to me today and it really spoke to me. I know many of us as we grow older struggle with the evolution of relationships and friendships and what they mean or don't mean.Even beyond this to every area of our life and the bondage that holds us back from the freedom that Christ intends for us. Lori~ especially what we were discussing last night. Sometimes we just need to. This is a powerful word for us today:



LET IT GO – T.D. Jakes

There are people who can walk away from you. And hear me when I tell you
this! When people can walk away from you: let them walk.

I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving
you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to
you.

I mean, hang up the phone. When people can walk away from you let them walk.
Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.

The bible said that, they came out from us that it might be made manifest
that they were not for us. For had they been of us, no doubt they would have
continued with us. [1 John 2:19]

People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not
joined to you, you can't make them stay. Let them go. And it doesn't mean
that they are a bad person it just means that their part in the story is
over.

And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you
don't keep trying to raise the dead. You've got to know when it's dead.
You've got to know when it's over.

Let me tell you something. I've got the "gift of good-bye." It's the tenth
spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that
I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to
me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to
stay. Let them go!! If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong
to you and was never intended for your life, then you need to ... LET IT
GO!!!

If you are holding on to past hurts and pains ... LET IT GO!!! If someone
can't treat you right, love you back, and see your worth...LET IT GO!!!

If someone has angered you ... LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge ... LET IT GO!!!
If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction ... LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents
... LET IT GO!!! If you have a bad attitude ...LET IT GO!!! If you keep
judging others to make yourself feel better ... LET IT GO!!!

If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new level in
Him ... LET IT GO!!! If you are struggling with the healing of a broken
relationship ... LET IT GO!

If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help themselves ...
LET IT GO!!! If you're feeling depressed and stressed ...LET IT GO!!!

If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling yourself
and God is saying "take your hands off of it," then you need to ... LET IT
GO!!!

Let the past be the past. Forget the former things.

GOD is doing a new thing for 2005!!!

LET IT GO!!!

Get Right or Get Left ... think about it, and then LET IT GO!!! "The Battle
is the Lord's!"





May the Lord give you joy for the journey, strength for today, and hope for tomorrow.
