Let It Go

Tosyn on Motivation, Books, Life, Quotes

I just put up a post on my blog titled Let It Go, it simply talks about the need and power of forgiveness.

Here is an excerpt:

I just had an epiphany.

Definition: a sudden, intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential meaning of something, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience (dictionary.com).

And what I just realised is that I was a hoarder.

No, I don’t have a house filled with junk, quite to the contrary for those who know me.

But I do know how to hold on to memories, relationships and sometimes “hurtful” words in my head.

So while others “store up” junk in their homes, I store up intangible memories, some good ones and some bad ones, in my head.

And overtime, the “storage unit” (my head) has gotten overly cluttered.

So I knew it was time to de-clutter (separate the good/useful from the bad).

Thus, my “pursuit of serenity” which eventually led me to a certain message by Bishop T.D Jakes titled Let It Go:

Read, Enjoy and Reflect:

Let It Go by Bishop 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.

When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.

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 bad people, 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!!!

Let the past be the past. Forget the former things. GOD is doing a new thing this year!!!...just LET IT GO!!!

Self explanatory yeah.

Very good points on your hoarding concept. I like..
On the forgiveness, Have you considered what Jesus said on the cross, what Steven said when being stoned and what Paul said ? More importantly , Have you seen what they DID NOT SAY ?
It is interesting and informative not to mention liberating !!!

Thanks for the insight Teddy, those are the best examples to use in describing the selfless acts of forgiveness we ought to emulate.

Thanks:)

G'day Martha

What this is saying is be more accepting instead of trying to change it to somethoing we want or desire it to be.

Love
Mathew

I just know that we have to respect each other and respect each other

My point to my comment is that neither of the three ever said , ( I forgive them ) but all three prayed to the Father to not hold those offenses to their charge. so my thought from those examples tells me that true forgiveness is the removing of accountability by asking the judge who said, whatever we ask and whatever we loose it will be done. all by his will of course. I might say I forgive you, but the ALMIGHTY JUDGE has a responsibility for his child and is the avenger. An offense against my child is an offense against me. Imagine how he must feel.

Tosyn ∙ 22 weeks ago

My understanding of "your" point is not far fetched. I think the act of asking God to forgive their offenders is also a selfless act.

Thanks for the insight though and I guess asking GOD to forgive our offenders completes the act of forgiveness.

Now that is a new perspective. thanks :)

Let me ask you one, what do you think was the cause of Christ sweating as if great drops of blood. What stressed him out so much to you ?

Teddy ∙ 22 weeks ago

P.S. don't forget to back it with scripture or give an idea with scripture on your conjecture.

Teddy ∙ 22 weeks ago
