Letting go will Not put you in the Naughty Chair

Let it go for 2006

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!!!

How true this is. I think we all cling on to some things too long, probably for fear of entering a new phase. We don't seem to understand that it may be a better phase. We seem to be creatures of habit but it never hurt to learn a few new habits! Jeannette.

You have perfect timing! I was sitting here looking at the comments from my last two journal entries and thinking about how I looked like I was wallowing in self pity and then  I get an alert.  
LET IT GO!
Its easier said than done; but, I need to do it.
THANK YOU!

HI, I JUST FOUND YOUR JOURNAL FROM SASSY'S JOURNAL. I LOVE YOUR GRAPHICS AND YOUR JOURNAL. IT'S REALLY AWESOME. I'VE BEEN BACK IN YOUR ARCHIVES TOO. I AGREE LETTING GO IS THE BEST YOU CAN DO FOR YOURSELF. MY HUSBAND AND 4YR OLD GRANDSON WAS KILLED IN A AUTO ACCIDENT. IT WAS HORRIBLE AND EVERYONE STARTED TO FIGHT ME OVER MONEY AND THINGS. IT HAS TAKEN ME 6 YRS TO LET IT ALL GO AND THE LAST THING I HAD TO RECLAIM WAS MY PASSION. I LEFT IT WITH MY HUSBAND. IT TOOK 6 YRS. LOTS OF DOCTORS, PREACHERS, LAWYERS, TIME AND SOUL SEARCHING AND A WONDERFUL MAN TO MAKE ME REALIZE ALL THAT I HAD TO LET GO OF. IT WASN'T EASY AND IT LEFT ONE PIECE AT A TIME BUT I FINALLY LET EVER BIT OF IT GO EVEN DOWN TO MY BABY AND MY HUSBAND. I'M HEALED. I THINK YOU SHOULD KEEP GOING WITH YOUR JOURNAL EXACTLY THE WAY YOU ARE. THE GRAPHICS ARE AWESOME, SOMETHING I WISH TO LEARN IN 2006. YOUR JOURNAL IS VERY VERY NICE AND I HAVE YOU ON MY ALERTS. COME OVER FOR A RANCH VISIT. I'M SO THRILLED TO HAVE FOUND YOU
