I found this on someones blog on Myspace and it really spoke to me. It reminds me of the lessons taught by Guy Finley in his book “Let Go, and Live in the Now” (See it here). ENJOY!
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. Forgive them. 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.
I believe in goodbye. 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!! Forgive them!
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!!!
