LET IT GO

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... 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 2004!!! LET IT GO!!!
Get right or get left. Think about it, and then LET
IT GO!!! "The Battle is the Lord's!"
