Let It Go...

The following is excerpted from T.D. Jakes.....with my sincere gratitude.

~There are people who can walk away from you, and believe me when I tell you this-When people can walk away from you: let them walk. I don't want you to try and 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 is left. The Bible said that "they went out from us but they were not for us. For had they been for us, no doubt they would still be 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 cannot make them stay. Let them go. It doesn't mean they are a bad person, it just means that their part in your story is over. So 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.

I have the gift of goodbye, it's the tenth spiritual gift. You have to believe in goodbye. It's not that you're hateful, it's that you're faithful and you must know whatever God means for you to have, He will give it to you. If it takes too much sweat, then you don't need it!

If you're holding on to something that doesn't belong to you and it was never intended for your life, let it go.

If you're holding on to a past that 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 thoughts of evil or revenge, let it go.

If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction, 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, let it go.

If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try, let it go.

If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship, let it go.

Let the past be the past, forget the former things, there are always new and better things!~

OK-I am done with the "let it go" speech. I just think that everyone I know, everyone I want to know, and everyone I don't know could relate to some or all of this. Myself especially included.

And a little positive affirmation that we are on the right track never hurt anyone.

Side note, I realized I forgot to post Planner Notes in earlier posts from this week. So here you go:
Monday, January 13, 2014: Note To Self: Today you will shine.
Sunday, January 19, 2014: DELIGHT: In the multitude of anxieties within me, your comforts delight my soul. Psalm 94:19
Monday, January 20, 2014: Note To Self: Be positive, patient, and persistent.
Sunday, January 26, 2014: ABIDE: I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me should not abide in darkness. John 12:46

And there you have it.

Peas.
