Just let it go !

Looking around some of the blogs this morning I came across this piece talking about letting go on NanaBananaDesigns and parts of it really "stepped on my toes" (as my mama would say). I have a REALLY hard time letting go of some things and its something i struggle with all the time even though I KNOW i should just let it go (forgiveness in some cases) and let God handle the rest.
LETTING GO
by T. D Jakes


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. When people can walk away from you let them walk.
Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.
The Bible says, "They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all 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!!


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 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!!!

  2. On an old Bob Newhart Show when he was a shrink...
    he told hi clients to "Dig those dogs(look at your toes)
    and LET IT GO!"

    Why not?

  3. Love this. And it may be that God is trying to teach you and I the very same lesson at exactly the same time (although I suspect this whole 'letting go' lesson is one that will take place over and over for me, I have a hard head). :)
