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're 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 them
self...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 2006!!!
LET IT GO!!!
Get Right or Get Left
Think about it, and then.LET IT GO!!!
