Let it go

Wow...for those of you that know me, you know that God and I are always in a battle. One I am sure to lose, but then I am fine with that. At least I feel I have expressed my need for free will by battling it out. However, this God that I fight so hard against seems to be looking out for my best interests even when I tell Him I don't want Him to. Today while picking up my copy of the Daily OM off the printer, I saw an email someone had printed and say the words LET IT GO. I read one line and then saw who wrote it and decided to come to my room to find this on the web and read it myself. I can't tell you how fitting this was for today and what I was needing to read or hear at this time. All I will say...is I am fortunate to have a God that will look out for me even when I am being a spoiled brat who doesn't want to follow the rules.

Let it go

by Pastor TD 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.

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!!

yourself and God is saying "take your hands off of it," then you need
to...

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
