I needed this
I saw this on someone's blog (sorry I couldn't link) and new right away it was meant for me to read. It was meant for me to know. Sometimes you don't know what you need until you get it. I needed this.
LET IT GO FOR 2005... 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 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 if they had been of us, no doubt they would have continued with us."
(I 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 they are a bad person, it just means that their part in your 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 hanging 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 hanging 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 onto 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 onto 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 are 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 themself... LET IT GO!!!
If you are feeling stressed and depressed...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 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!!!

Truer words were never spoken. Although you made the decision to let it go, you just freed yourself up for someone who'll add value to your life, instead of wondering, "do you love me...check yes or no", or questioning yourself and your abilities. You've already gone through the hardest part. Everything else is cake from here.
And don't worry about being trained or training him (I've always hated that "training concept"), but you'll both be "pruned" for each other. You don't even have to look for the right one. He's probably looking for you right now.
I've been there myself, and had a hard time accepting that the man that I adored and had children with didn't have staying power. All the way down to the divorce, I was still unaccepting.
It does hurt, but it does end. My co-pastor always says, "It's okay to go thru it, just as long as you go THRU it". I don't know where she got that, but it helped me, with every single obstacle.
BTW, Peanut's adorable!
Take care and be blessed.
Wonderful words of wisdom! You must first let go of the old to make room for the new!
Strength to you if you are especially needing it at this time. Let it go and be free!
His delivery only adds to these words. I'm glad you were blessed with them when you were.
You stay strong and know that you will be in my prayers. I'm sorry to hear about the deterioration in your relatioship with your son's father, but only you know what is best for you.
Blessings.
my friend...believe me it is quite OK. When I read those words myself I know they were meant for me also, as they were meant for all of us. Peace.
