Let go....

I would like to share this with you guys. Hope you like this. 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. 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, 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 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 you !!! LET IT GO!!! Get Right or Get Left .. think about it, and then LET IT GO!!! "The Battle is the Lord's!"

Friend, this is wonderful stuff. Is this something that you created yourself, or something that you found to share with us? Either way, I LOVE it. It is so real, and so right, and I could just hear a preacher proclaiming this from the podium. A great evangelist. I sound like I am running on and on. This has great meaning for me tonight.

i agree with you on letting go. but it all depends on what was there on the situation. how deep was the hurt feeling and how many lives were affected with the hurt that a person cost. i stood up and walked away.... i left the it. i let myself go. turned around and never went back. but the hurt is still there.... when you see something or read something that remids you of the hurt it is still there.... cant deny it. i said my goodbyes a long time ago... but i have my children who still gives me a lot of memories of the battles i faced and still now facing. i am happy now so much satisfied than what i was before.... but i can not still say completely that i did let go. maybe if i see him again... maybe i can say that i complete surrendered the feelings of hurt to the lord.

I agree with you one hundred percent. Sometimes we as human beings have to learn the hard way. There is no sense in trying to hold on to a person who doesn't want to be in the relationship any longer. What you posted here is very true.

That is well said. Never try to hold on to something or someone who doesn't want to be there. Like the butterfly, let it go. Let go of those who have angered or hurt you so that you can be free.

That is very insightful. You are right about letting things go. Most of us are too wrapped up in the "I want" to realize that some things aren't about us, but about moving on. The past is comfortable, you know what it does - but it doesn't allow for growth.

That is quite true. Some people waste to much of their life pining over something that was never meant to be. They sit around crying and complaining about that one relationship when they could be out finding the one person who they are truly meant to be with.

That was very beautiful.It's good to be reminded again and again. Most of the time we tend to cling to something that wasn't meant for us- a relationship that wasn't meant to be.In our obstinate way we try to make things right to suit us forgetting that God has better plans.We insist what we want.We fight a meaningless battle only to hurt ourselves more in the process.After so many years when we are finally able to let go, we see the light and we thank our lucky stars that things didn't happen our way. May we learn follow and say, Lord, your will not my will be done.

"Let Go" is an east word to used too but sometimes if we are applying it in our life procedure it is very hard especially when you are experiencing and struggling so much from the past life but a person should have to Let it Go in everything the same way I experienced with my Father when he left us with another woman and just let our future work and it would depend on us on how we worked on it, It means he left without any financial support and we have to find it by ourselves, i felt so Angry with him on How he could do such things like this when he travel abroad and just give the money he earn to someone which is not his own blood but "My mother and i with 2 Brothers" have to let it go and and do the things so for now it is 20 years past and Thanks to God because he is always there to guide us and made our Lives better without my father's presence and i already forget the pain and forgive my father even he did not ask of it, i just let it go......
