Let it go for 2006
By 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 keep judging others to make yourself feel better ... 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!!!
Let the past be the past. Forget the former things.
GOD is doing a
new thing for 2006!
And
So It Is!
Letting
Love Use Me In Its Own Good Way,
Rev.
