CHRISTIAN PARENTS of ESTRANGED ADULT CHILDREN Community Group
Estrangement makes it difficult to talk about with family, friends, neighbors and church members. Christians are NOT immune to broken families. Talk about your experiences with those who know how you feel and get positive support through your Christian faith...."In these last days difficult times will come, for men will be lovers of self...disobedient to parents,...
Ladies..pray all of you peace and joy! This is long...but a great gift 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.
They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us. (1John 2:19)
People leave us because they are not joined to us. And if they are not joined to us, we 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 of 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.........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......Stop begging people to stay. Let them go!! If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong to you (all things belong to God) 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 have a bad attitude...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 in the past. Forget the former things. God is doing a new thing for 2011! LET IT GO!! Get Rich of Get Left. Think about it, and then LET IT GO!! "The battle is the Lord's!"
I decided to read this every day! A great help to me and I hope it helps someone else too!

TD Jakes has influenced many that is for sure!

However, letting go of any one of the above things are not as easy as this sounds. When someone is deep into anything at all, like depression, simply saying to someone "Let It Go" seems to be quite trite. I know. I have said it and again do believe it is the right thing to do, but I don't think it should be said as an end all - it's too much like a cliche' today.
I know how hard I tried to give up smoking cigarettes years ago. Every morning I woke up, that was going to be the day I gave it up. But someone who is addicted to something simply cannot put it down never to return.
When I finally gave it up, it was because the Good Lord showed me that I was not in control of my life. Cigarettes determined what I did 24/7. If I wanted to go to a Bible study, I first asked how long it was going to be. If it was any more than an hour, I did not go. Telling me to simply "Let it go" would have sounded so trite at that time. It took the work of the Holy Spirit to convince me that I had to get my priorities in order that finally gave me the strength to stop. Even then, it took me a full year before I began to go through a day without wanting to smoke again. "Letting Go" truly was not that easy.
