Let It Go..

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 forus. For had they been of us, no doubt they would have continued withus. [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 gotthe 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 you are struggling with the healing of a brokenrelationship.......
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 soused to handling yourselfand 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 2006!!!
LET IT GO!!!
Get Right or Get Left .. think about it, and then ...
LET IT GO!!!

Today's thought is:

Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth and dust doth corrupt, where thieves break through and steal; but lay up treasures in heaven ... for where your treasure is, there will be your heart also. --Matthew 6:19 21

The True Treasure

Consider the following story of misplaced priorities. While hiking in the wilderness, I met a man whose T-shirt carried the following message: "He who dies with the most toys, wins."
As I pondered those words, I was sure that the author meant the opposite of what he said. No one on his deathbed ever stated, "I wish I had spent more time at the office." We were put on this earth not to accumulate "toys," but to reap the gifts of the spirit. These gifts come to us when we dedicate our lives to something greater than ourselves - a path of service in the world, the raising of a loving family, the creation of beauty through art, or any passion that inspires one.
Having lived in this manner, you can look back over your life with a real sense of fulfillment. By following the path of peace, love, and joy, you will discover your true treasure - one that transcends death itself.
He, who dies, having followed his heart, wins

*source Unknown *

This really meant a lot to me today. It was confirmation to what I've believed and have felt all my life. I've always been one to "not follow the crowd" or to think radical - and more artistic than others. This has had me always questioning life and what it's all about.
Until I found Jesus, and made him my savior- my eyes were closed to who I was...and what I could do.
.. I've been freed, in more ways than one. Free to be me, and Free to do what will allow me to WIN in the in.....

Amazing

... God never ceases to amaze me. In the midst of the many life events and hardships, he continues to inspire me and give me new visions (goals)...along with bring wonderfully encouraging people into my life.

Be open to God using you to bless others..........a kind word will go a long way.
