It seems quite a coincidence that so many things with my life right now are revolving around the theme of "letting go". Sometimes, it makes me think that God is intentionally setting things up so that I'll be forced to think about the subject.
Here is one instance. The following is a beautiful piece about Letting Go that a client of ours accidentally emailed to me.
" LET IT GO
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 get super glue and 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! LET IT 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

in Him...... LET IT GO!

GO!
If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help himself.....
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 for 2004! LET IT GO!
Get Right or Get Left...think about it, then LET IT GO!
LET Gods Love, Peace and Blessings be with you always... "The past cannot
be changed.......the future is still in your power!"
