Ek het altyd gedink dis moeilik om die lewe vas te hou…
om jouself
en jou goed veilig te hou.
Dit is nie waar nie.

Die moeilike dae
is die oop-hand-dae…
die vandag-laat-ek-alles-gaan-dae

Let go…
Klein woordjies met groot betekenis.

Ek kyk nie meer om nie…
behalwe as ek wil lag,
of huil
oor hoe moeilik
die kronkelpad soms swenk.

Ek onthou die dae, weke en maande…
van swanger verwagting,
van asem ophou en wag.

Hoopvolle ure wat jare geword het.

“Getting stuck can be the best thing that could happen to us, because it forces us to stop. It halts the momentum of our lives. We have no choice but to notice what is around us, and we end up searching for Jesus.”
Michael Yaconelli

“But there was a difference between being stuck and choosing to stay.
Between being found and finding yourself.”
Martina Boone

I am touched by her life, how it moves forward, pulses and springs. There is no fragmentation, nothing stunted or wedged. I circle back, I regress, the past doesn’t let go. It might as well be a malfunction, a scene repeating itself, a scratched vinyl record, a stutter.
Leile Aboulela

“Every moment is precious, even the ones behind me that I often reflect upon with a reserved smile. However I seldom look back, only forward in anticipation of the next greater now.”
Carl Henegan

“As years passed away I have formed the habit of looking back upon that former self as upon another person, the rememberance of whose emotions has been a solace in adversity and added zest to the enjoyment of prosperity.”
Simon Newcomb

“Fear is the glue that keeps you stuck. Faith is the solvent that sets you free.”
Shannon L. Adler

“I can shake off anything as I write, my sorrows disappear, my courage reborn.”
Anne Frank

Ek onthou soos gister hoe ek hierdie stuk van Bishop T.D. Jakes lees, en weet…ek is vry! Voorwaar God maak alles nuut…ook vir my.

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 have got to know when it is 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 are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents . . .

Let it go!

If you have a bad attitude . . .

Let it go!

If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better . . .

Let it go!

If you’re stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new level in Him . .

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!

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 you!

Al stamp ek my tone teen klippe en stompe, my hart jubel in die Here! Sela.

As die verlede aan my skouer raak, draai ek nie om nie…

“The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to Him in song.”
Psalm 28:7

“Once you’ve made the decision to move on, don’t look back. You will never find your future in the review.”

“Never regret. If it’s good, it’s wonderful. If it’s bad, it’s experience. Don’t look back in regret. Move forward with hope.”

“The only time you should ever look back is to see how far you’ve gotten.”

“When all doors behind you get shut, it’s a sign that you need to stop looking back and start moving forward.”

“If you want to walk away, just walk. Don’t look back to the past. Because when you look back, you may cry for the person who hurts you the most. Look towards your future, and love it.”

Burdens are for shoulders strong enough to carry them.
