( This was forwarded to me in a email by a dear Sister-Diva named Janina Cash, so sweet of her to send / share these words of affirmation and encouragement ! ).
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!!!
'The Battle is the Lord's!'
During the next 60 seconds, Stop whatever you are doing, and take this
opportunity..
(Literally it is only ONE minute!)
All you have to do is the following:
You simply say 'The Lords Prayer' for the person that sent you this
message:
The Lords Prayer
Our Father, who are in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom Come,
Thy
Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day, our daily
bread
and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against
us.
And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, forever.
Amen.
Next, send this message to everyone you know.. In a while, more people
will
have prayed for you and you would have obtained a lot of people praying
for
others!
Next, stop and think and appreciate God's power in your life, for doing
what
you know is pleasing to Him.
If you are not ashamed to do this, follow the instructions!
Jesus said, If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before My
Father'
If you are not ashamed, send this message.... only if you believe.
