The Wisdom on Letting Go

Letting Go
By 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.

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'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........

you to a new level in Him.........

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......

Pure Heart: The True Signs of Inner Beauty

As I was packing my books last night to put it in a box, a piece of paper cut-out from a newspaper slid over.  And I remember that this was one of the articles that I read before, because I have a habit that whenever I read something in a newspaper or magazine that I like or catches my attention, i use to cut it in insert it on my books.  Just want to share the article about having a pure heart.

Pure Heart:  The True Signs of Inner Beauty

A MAN's worth is within.  Physical beauty us seen by the eyes, but inner beauty is felt by the soul.  As taught in Raja Yoga, inner beauty is the form and color of the personality - the way he speaks, moves, and dress.

And the true measure of a soul is virtue.  "Virtue is the beauty of the person," according to the teachings of Brahma Kumaris.  The light of virtue shines "into the body, into the environment, and ultimately, into the fiber of the planner itself.""

PURITY. Imagine a clean, simple, sunlit room.  There is silence.  Then somebody walks in, then another, then a third -  and peace has been shattered.  There is a space inside of us where outsiders are forbidden.  We create our own miseries when we let other people violate that inner sanctum.
"Meet a truly pure soul and he can walk right through your leaving no mark at all, only a sense of light and optimism,"  wrote Ophelia San Juan in Alternate Realities.

LIGHTNESS. Lightness comes upon touching the essence of your being that has remained unchanged throughout your spiritual pilgrimage.  And with it comes laughter -  touching everyone yet remaining free.
Thus, a private discovery becomes a way of life.  Like a spring, it grows into a river, and flows into the lives of others.

GENTLENESS. Gentleness is the serenity that comes from inner strength - the knowledge of who your are and what you are capable of.  And with this come awareness, tolerance, and understanding.
The perfect symbotl is a tree -  giving shelter without being dominant, nurturing without interfering.  And like its swaying branches, it softly brushes  the earth without taking root.
SWEETNESS.  Sweetness is innocence borne of wisdom.  This comes only by journeying inward -  and uncovering the meaning of life beneath the shams and delusions of the world.

Contemplating death means living life to the fullest.  "For before dying, it is only that line you see, not the life, and suddenly you understand the whys and the whats, and after wards, you move on," wrote San Juan.  "What us really sweet can never be time's victim, for sweetness is the quality of a person whose life has touched eternity."

Why Do Women Cry?






Why Do Women Cry?

A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a woman," she told him.
"I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will, but that's okay."
Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"
"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.
 

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.   Finally he went on his knees and asked God: God... why do women cry so easily?"

God said:

" When I made the woman she had to be special.
I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort.
I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children.

 
I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining.

 
I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.

 
I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.
I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.
 

And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."  When you see her cry, tell her how much you love her and all she does for everyone.  And even though she may still cry, you have made her heart feel good.  She is special!

"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."

Broken Soul

Serenity has been gone,
Pain and emptiness felt within
Head has been always held down
Love has failed and the future’s uncertain.

Where is that sweet smile?
That brave heart has turned frail.
The soul’s traveling on that long dark tunnel,
Looking for the light that’s been gone for awhile.

Every moment has turned gray
Every hour spent without gay
Life’s meaning has past away,
Longing for the love to turn back on its way.

The heart has been drowned with the sadness inside,
Hurt feelings and shared dreams ruined
Still holding-on & faith to mend,
Waiting for this broken soul to be healed……

Confused...

What will you do when you don't know what to do....

That's the question i have been trying to answer, a question ask by the person whom i dearly love. A question with so much confusions. Its true that in this world we have so many choices, its all up to us to decide.

What if in the choices that we have, someone will be hurt if we choose one or the other... It's really hard to decide, but we have no option but to choose.

But the question remains... What will you do, when you don't know what to do?
