A little long, but it makes alot of sense.................

Let it go...
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 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!!!



LET IT GO!!!



Get Right or Get Left .. think about it, and then ...

LET IT GO!!!

"This Battle is the Lord's!"

Stop and think and appreciate God's power in your life, for doing what you know is pleasing to Him.

God loves you and watches over you everyday.


No one falls in love by choice, it is by chance,
No one stays in love by chance, it is by work,
And no one falls out of love by chance, it is by choice...

GF - powerful stuff! thanks!

wow this hit me between the eyes.. and personally i think its wrong.

knowing when to walk away is a gift to the person who walked too. it doesnt mean they dont love you. it means they loved themself enough not to tolerate bad behavior. it doesnt mean they cant handle things.it means they love themselves enough not to let an alcoholic destroy them. it means they walk away from the game...not necessarily the person. i worry about this kind of thinking. i am sure generally its fine..but specific to alcoholism? heck.. most of the time we are walking away from the destruction of a disease that affects everyone in the family. not just the person left behind.

I agree, Quietsins. This wasn't written about alcoholics, though. It was just written in general.

Should of put an "OT" in the title.

Outstanding Post
 

GF, Thanks.

thanks GF, I do like it, lots of parts of it. It IS a nice writing. I'm so glad though, QUIETSINS, thank you so much - for helping me with the part that I always had trouble with, always left me feeling guilty/sad, that first part about "walking away." Since I 'physically walked away' it always got to me - that part, so thank you! I guess I knew it could mean it in another sense, not the 'on the surface' sense, but it's nice to have that so eloquently explained and clarified :-)

Thank you for posting this...really made me think today.

Thanks Girlfriend..Needed to read this this morning..
