from 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. 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.

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!!

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 keep judging others to make yourself feel better ... 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!!!

Let the past be the past. Forget the former things.
