Something By Which To Live...
Let it go for 2005...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.
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 of 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 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 2005!!! LET IT GO!!! Get Right or Get Left..think about it,
and then LET IT GO!!!
"The Battle is the Lord's!"
During the next 60 seconds, stop whatever you are doing, and take this
opportunity to do the following:
You simply say,"The Lords Prayer":
The Lords Prayer
Our Father, who are in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom Come,
Thy Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day, our
daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who
trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from
evil. For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, forever.
Amen.
Next, stop and think and appreciate God's power in your life, for doing
what you know is pleasing to Him.
If you are not ashamed, send this message to everyone on your email list! Jesus said, "If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before My Father". Send this message...only if you believe.
"Yes, I love my God. He is my fountain of Life and My Savior. He Keeps
me going day and night. Without Him, I am no one. But with Him, I can do
everything, Christ is my strength."
If you love God and you are not ashamed of all the great things that He
has done for you, send this to everyone you know!
God loves you and watches over you every day
