Learn To Let Go
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.
When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left. The Bible said that, “They went out from us, but they were never really part of us. If they had been, they would have stayed with us. But by leaving they made it clear that none of them were part of 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!!

good for you coz you learned to let go. i’m proud of you, and you should be proud of yourself too.
..how can you let go of someone,who cared for you the best way he could?
..how can you let go of someone,whom you know will fall completely flat on the ground if you do?
..how can you let go of someone, who built his dreams around you?
..how can you hurt someone who loved you more than he loved himself?
..and how will you let him go if you knew he would be at lost when your gone……….
it’s hard…….
this post is meant for those who can’t learn to let go, even though they know that their partner doesn’t love them anymore, and he wants to leave. however, if you’re the one who wants to let go, and want the relationship to end, then that’s a different story.
ahhmm i’ll just tell my story some other time not in the mood ..lol just kidding wink*wink*
keep up the good works!!
I am 37 years young and I feel as if I should not be here again…because I have been here enough times to know that I should not. The truth is four years were spent trying to keep someone who wanted to go…No matter what I did for myself, for him for us…it made no difference because he felt frustrated with himself and in turn he felt frustrated with me…this resulted in disrespect by both of us. He has had enough and has decided to go…I can’t try anymore to hold on to him because I know I can’t make someone stay… I find myself, even though I did pray to God in the relationship, having God alone to hold on to. I wonder to myself if I would ever get married and have children too. I know I need to do more for myself…I need to live more but I sometimes feel it is not worth the life…and I know that’s only when I am absorbed in myself. I am trying to focus on God more now…I feel sort of like a hypocrite because I only have God now. I don’t like this…Tears, Tears…because I love him so much and I know I should just let him go…I know I should enjoy “MY LIFE”….but sometimes I feel what is it all worth when people you love leave. Love is very important to me. The only person who has shown me much love after God is my mom and she is dead…I just don’t know what to do anymore because almost half of my life is almost gone and I never thought I would be here again. It hurts imogen…I can’t deny that and I know I should have the confidence of faith but sometimes it is harder said then done.
