Most of us have heard the expression, “let it go”. Three simple words…
Life happens. Jobs come and go, girlfriends and boyfriends come and go, people we thought were our friends ignore us, spouses don’t trust each other with opposite gender friends, you run out of chocolate….
We have two choices basically when life happens. We can cry and pout over stuff, or we can just let it go.
Anyone that can just walk away from you isn’t someone you need in your life. They are no longer the person you used to know. The person you knew died somewhere. This new person that walked away from you isn’t who they used to be. They aren’t trustworthy, they aren’t reliable, they aren’t responsible. Let them walk! Don’t go after them. You don’t need them! Let them go!
Don’t waste your time talking to them or trying to talk to them. Don’t call or email or IM or text. Leave them alone! THEY walked away from you. If that’s what they think of you after years of a friendship, who needs them? Let them go! They chose to walk, let them walk!
God is good! He never tied your life and future to someone who would walk away from you.
Sometimes a person will keep you dangling by a thread… having already walked away but they want to keep you around for when they need something from you, to use you. Open your eyes! If someone is using you, and they don’t want anything to do with you unless they need something, then cut the thread! Let them go! If they no longer talk to you the way they used to, if they no longer have time for you the way they used to, if they no longer act the same towards you as they used to, then let them go! No one likes to be used. Just cut the thread and YOU walk away.
Let them go…. they aren’t the person they used to be. They went from a loving and caring person to someone that you don’t know anymore. Stop trying to hang onto them. They’re already gone. Stop holding onto the past. So you had a wonderful past together… what does that matter now? Where are they now? When’s the last time they talked to you like a friend? When’s the last time they were there for you when YOU needed THEM? And how many times over the years were YOU there for THEM? Exactly… you were always there for them, helping them, listening to them, praying for them… even helping them pay their rent, have food to eat, pay fines, pay their car note, pay their insurance, their bills, their phone… and what does all of that get you? They ignored you for months, they said to heck with you and the friendship. They used you, and you were too blind to even see or want to see it.
Let them go! You have a wonderful and happy life waiting once you realize that you cannot hold onto someone who just plain doesn’t care about you. They never really did! If they don’t want you (and they don’t or they wouldn’t have walked away) then you don’t need them.
Let them go… and move on.. have a life with friends who truly care about you, not just someone who wants you around to use you and then ignore you. Let’s say it together….. LET IT GO!
Below is something that was sent to me about three years ago. This pretty much sums it up.
—————————————————————————————
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!!
