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 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!!! LET IT GO!!! 
Get Right or Get Left ...
think about it,
and then ... LET IT GO!!! 
"The Battle is the Lord's!"

God gives opportunities..

Sometimes inspiration hits ya when you're least expecting it and in the strangest of places.  Tonight, it's while laying in bed at a Holiday Inn with Evan Almighty playing in the background.

It hit me faster than drawing an eleven at a blackjack table....

I've always believed you shouldn't pray to God for something that you can do for yourself and/or for others, and that's about as far as I processed that thought.  I also have always believed my daddy's advice to never pass up an opportunity.  I just didn't know exactly why it was that important of advice.

Until I heard Morgan Freeman's voice in the background...

God: Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?-   Quote from 2007 movie, Evan Almighty

What opportunities have you been given, perhaps even ignoring,  to have your prayers answered?

Sometimes God's answer to a prayer IS the window.
