Let it go...
Saturday, February 10, 2007
An old friend found me on myspace and had this up on her profile... Considering the big stress knot plagueing my left shoulder and neck - I thot it was pretty approriate - for everyone.
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. 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 for 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 cannot make them stay. Let them go.
It doesn't mean that they are a bad person, it just means that their part in your story is over. And you have 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, & I know that 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. So stop begging people to stay & let them go.
If you are holding onto something that doesn't belong to you & was never intended for your life then you need to...let it go!
If you are holding onto past hurts & pains...let it go!
If someone can't treat you right, love you back, & see your worth...let it go!
If someone has angered you...let it go!
If you are holding onto thoughts of evil & revenge...let it go!
If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction...let it go!
If you are holding onto 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 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 are feeling depressed & stressed...let it go!
If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling yourself & 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 2007!!! So let it go. Get right or get left. Think about it, then let it go!

I'm from Denver, CO. I love to travel - both alone and with friends - explore new places and really learn the personality of a city. I own my own PR firm and offer support to creative professionals including authors, musicians and small business. My husband writes and performs live music (often for kids at local libraries in town), and we have a little boy who loves to travel as much as we do.
