A sister brought this up last night in small group, anyway thought I would share it here.
LET IT GO IN 2007 by TD Jakes
There are people who can walk away from you, and will. 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, being your friend. I mean: hang up the phone!!!!
When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody who left. The Bible said, "they went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that! none of them were of us." (
I 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 you are a bad person. It just means their part in the story is over. You've got to know when people's part in your story is over so 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. I'm not hateful, I'm faithful and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me.
Stop begging people to stay....LET THEM GO!!!!
If you are holding on to something which 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 pain....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 addition...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 a past and God is trying to take you to a new level in Him....LET IT GO.
If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try and help themselves.....LET IT GO.
If you're feeling depressed and stressed....LET IT GO.
If there is a particular situation 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 in 2007 - LET GO of the former things!!
If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
Happy moments, praise God
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, than God.
"Do not be misled: 'Bad company corrupts good character".
Whenever you think God has stopped listening or caring for you, didn't follow through on His promises
or didn't answer your prayer(s),
you most likely:
1. misinterpreted the promise,
2. missed the answer, or
3. gave up before God responded.
God ALWAYS does what He said He would!!!!!!!!!
- Success is simply the ability to outrun failure.
