This was posted anonymously on Craig's List, but in light of recent events in my life I find it extremely relevant. I hope that in reading this, you too will find strength.
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.
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!!

level in Him . . . . . . . .

themselves . . . . . . . .

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

I really needed to see this today.
Thanks for posting.
You're very welcome. Isn't it amazing what shows up when you need it most?
Great post, Carol. Those are true words - you can't make something be, that's not. It will only make you bitter to hang on. You deserve the best - congratulations for Letting It Go. It may hurt, but you will come out a stronger person. Hugs ~ Debbie
Hey Carol, thanks for posting this. Debbie saw this and told me about it. I read the first part and didn't really need to read further. That alone spoke to me.

I totally agree with all of this..and try to live by it also!
AMEN!!!! I have lived by this the last decade of my life & it has made me the woman I am today...with the help of the Lord!!
This was so uplifting to read today!
Thank you for this uplifting post. My husband and I both have learned that life is too short to keep negative people and negative situations around. Noone should have negativity and drama in their life, it's not healthy. This post is inspiring and very true to live by! Thanks! j3
A great post! Best Wishes in all you do!
