We are often stuck in a friendship, a relationship. . .
that in the past may have done us good. But now it's causing a lot of harm. You know, if you're suddenly around someone who's been causing you more distress than well being.
That has made you cry instead of smiling, so it's time for you to let go of what doesn't belong to you. You may suddenly want to, but there's no way you can build a future on temporary relationships. The truth is that we often think we are hostage to a toxic relationship.
But we don't realize that the key is in our hands. So don't try to hold on with all your strength what God is asking you to let go. release.
And let God write a new story for your life. Believe in His plans. Or let it lead you, take you to your true destination.
There are people who can walk away from you. There are people who will walk away from you along your walk . And when those people walk away from you, let them go.
God didn't make you to beg someone to stay with you. God didn't make you to beg someone to love you. God didn't make you to beg people to care about you.
God didn't make you to beg someone to cling to you. So that someone calls you. So that someone cares about you.
And I repeat. . .
When someone walks away from you, let it go. Not all the people who will pass through your life will stay with you forever. Not every person who will pass you by will write the entire story with you.
Some people will stay with you for a season, for a phase. And you have to learn when people's story ends in your story. You have to know when part of someone's story in your life ends, so you don't try to resurrect what died.
There are many stories that God ends and we try to resurrect. You have to know when you need to cry, fast, spill, beg. .
. But you have to know when it ends. You have to take a shower, put on some perfume, worship God, eat and life has to go on.
You have to know when the story ends. If it's over, if they abandoned you , it wasn't an accident. If you tried to make it work and it didn't work.
. . If you tried to make it work and it didn't work, it wasn't an accident.
Accept it as God's will. But understand the stories that end. Stop insisting to stay who wants to leave you.
Stop begging for affection, stop begging for love, stop begging for attention, stop behaving like a poor thing. If they don't want to be with you, let them go. If they don't want to be with you, let them leave you.
If they don't want to love you, don't. If they don't want to walk with you, don't. If they don't want to pay attention to you, don't.
Because your sufficiency is not in the one who stays but in the one who made you. You are sustained from above. You are supported by Him.
He is the author and finisher of your faith. When the wrong people leave your life , the right things will start to happen. When the wrong people start coming out of your power supply, the right things will start to happen.
The separation of Lot and Abraham was necessary. Don't walk with people God didn't tell you to walk with. Don't make an alliance.
So when I'm leaving you, let go. There are times when you have to separate, it's painful, it's painful, it's painful , but let it go. Let go.
Let go. Learn it. Learn that to enter a new company you will have to leave one.
Learn it! Learn to stop being widowed. Learn as painful as separations are necessary.
And when the wrong people leave something will happen. When we say goodbye to someone it doesn't mean we're bad or that we're bad. And we don't even have a heart.
When you say goodbye to someone it means you fear God. It means that if someone is leaving me that person will not interfere with my purpose. And out of fear of God I will continue.
I'll continue. I don't need anyone to stay for me to grow. I don't need anyone to stay for me to develop.
Keep in your life only those who stay when you have open hands. Don't waste your life spending all your energy to make happy those who don't care in fact never cared about your happiness. Don't keep giving your best to those who don't have anything good to give you.
You need to ask God to take away from you that feeling of possession that you think is love. You need to ask God to open your eyes and make you see that you can no longer be parked like this in life waiting for a change in a decision. .
. Because nothing will change if you live forgiving or making concessions. You need to ask God to give you strength to let go of those who didn't come to stay.
Sometimes we want to know how to cling to something that God has allowed into our lives to stay just for a period not for the entire journey. You need to ask God to help you identify the expiration date of something or someone in your life. Remember, God's plans are bigger and better than ours.
Many times we are attached to someone and we are left questioning, wondering, suffering because of that person's indifference. But this indifference has already taught you that you are forcing something that should be and should happen naturally. Don't erase yourself to someone who wasn't born to be captive and never knew what commitment really is.
