TD Jakes LET IT 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 walkAway 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 talentsLET 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 evenTry 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 this New Year! LET IT GO!!! Get Right or Get Left .. Think about it, and then,LET IT GO!!! “The Battle is the Lord’s!”

Girlfriends

This is something that's been on my heart for as long as I can remember. I just wonder how many of you out there have had this same experience or have felt like I do. I just don't know why this bothers me as much as it does maybe it's jealousy maybe I'm just too sensitive but I've never been anyone's best friend.. And it hurts.. Everytime I had a friend some other girl/woman would come along from their past and OFF they'd go leaving me behind. It's been going on since Elementry school. It's never failed.. Maybe I'm looking for failure?
I feel I've been a good friend to everyone and get nothing much back.. I give my all and expect loyality and a committment to a long term friendship.. I love deeply and want the same back.. I want the Heart of Gold and I'm willing to return it. I've matured enough to know that you have to BE what you're looking for and I'm willing to do that. I want a shoulder to cry on and I'm willing to lend one as well.
I remember when we bought this house about 1995 I met this woman in the Model (she was buying too) we hit it off and we're like totally insepratble for a few months and then she became friends with the "men" across the street from her.. she lives on the same street I do. I was replaced... I know I handled this badly.. I was jealous and then ashamed of myself for being so stupid.. I know she loved me and I loved her but I couldn't handle sharing her.. boy I do have issues.. but I wanted love like I see other ladies have. I see them walking in the Mall or at Easton and their so happy and secure in their friendships and that's what I'm missing..

Writing this all out I can see how pathic I am!!! But I don't want to be a loner for the rest of my life.
