Letting go

I'm not sure who wrote this, but it is good, wanted to share.

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’s
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.

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 2007!!!
LET IT GO!!!

Get Right or Get Left....think about it, and then......
LET IT GO!!!

The author is T.D. Jakes and the sermon is called "Let It Go" (for obvious reasons).
