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!!!
'The Battle is the Lord's!
