Let it go for 2006...
By T. D. Jakes
There are people who can walk away from you 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 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 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!!! I
f 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 2006!!! LET IT GO!!!
Get Right or Get Left .. Think about it, and then ... LET IT GO!!!
"The Battle is the Lord's!" During the next 60 seconds, Stop whatever you are doing, and take this opportunity. (Literally it is only ONE minute!) All you have to do is the following: Simply say "The Lords Prayer" for the person that sent you this message:The Lords Prayer
Our Father, who are in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name,
Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day, our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, forever.
Amen.
Next, stop and think and appreciate God's power in your life, for doing what you know is pleasing to Him. If you are not ashamed to do this, follow the instructions! Jesus said, If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before My Father" If you are not ashamed, send this message... Only if you believe. "Yes, I love my God! . He is my fountain of Life and My Savior. He Keeps me going day and night. Without Him, I am no one. But with Him, I can do everything, Christ is my strength." This is not a test, this is for real. If you love God and you are not ashamed of all the great things that He has done for you, send this to everyone you know, and the person that sent it to you!! God loves you and watches over you everyday, so make the most of this day. God Bless.

I got this in an email and was truly inspired to put it up as the next blog, it's so true people are able to leave us at anytime we shouldn't try and keep someone close that doesn't want to be close to us as well. I believe we all have our own battles.... Like the saying says if we let them go and they come back to us then it was meant to be...... But if they don't come back then it wasn't. I've always said if certain people in our past were meant to be in the future they will be there no if's and's or but's about it because destiny has already molded a place for them in time. If we don't see them there then by all means there journey in our lives has ended they've left the mark or impression they were meant to, and perhaps that's all well need to take with us, as sad as it may be......... It is hard at times to let someone or something go but God hears our cries when we call out to him to give us strenght. I hope to hear your thoughts on this piece for it truly is thought provoking. From this day forward let it go whatever it maybe, knowing that it may return if it was yours to begin with or meant to be.)
