Anyways Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 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 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 NOW!!! LET IT GO!!! Get Right or Get Left.think about it, and then...LET IT GO!!!

Art_Critic Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 Here are some of my favorite sayings.. most are from AA but they work for all Easy does it. First things first. Live and let live. But for the grace of God. Think think think. One day at time. Let go and let God. K.I.S.S.---Keep It Simple Stupid. Act as if. This, too, shall pass. Expect miracles. Keep coming back, it works if you work it. I came; I came to; I came to believe Live in the NOW. Turn it over. We are only as sick as our secrets. Be part of the solution, not the problem. I can't handle it God; you take over. Willingness is the key. Let it begin with me. Just for today. Pass it on. You either are or you aren't. Before you say I can't, say I'll try. Don't quit before the miracle happens. We're all here because we're not all there. Practice an attitude of gratitude. God is never late. Have a good day, unless of course you have made other plans. Decisions aren't forever. It takes time. You are not alone. Where you go, there you are. Look for the similarities rather than differences. When all else fails, follow directions. Share your pain. Let go of old ideas. Try to replace guilt with gratitude. What goes around, comes around. Change is a process, not an event. Take the cotton out of your ears and put it in your mouth. The price for serenity and sanity is self-sacrifice. Take what you can use and leave the rest. What if........ Yeah but......... If only......... You can't give away what you don't have. Courage to change. Bring the body and the mind will follow.
