Letting Go

Poem by Judy Burnette

How do you walk away from someone you love
And take the road of friend;
Can you reroute the course you have taken
And start over once again?

I don't really want to let you go
But inside me I know I must;
The times we've loved . . . the times you've left
My heart says stay . . . but it's my mind I must trust.

We have shared so much together
Laughter . . . fun times . . . tears;
Yet sometimes we can't turn back time
We must walk away, and allow ourselves to heal.

I know one day you will be happy
And your soulmate you will find;
I know we each have one out there
Even if for now . . . only in our minds.

May life be gentle with you
May God's best come your way;
And on some quiet tomorrow
You will realize things were better this way.

How can we let go of someone we love? I really can't think of an answer. Giving up the person we love is easier said than done. And there are no hard and fast rules on how to do it. It is never easy to let go of love...

Letting go is a painful process.The loss of a loved one is a devastating event and the pain is beyond words specially if the loss is unexpected. It takes away a piece of ourselves - our guts, our hearts, our souls and our sanity. Oftentimes, we feel nothing except loneliness and emptiness...

Letting go requires healing. And for all wounds to heal, time is a necessity....

Letting go needs forgiving and forgetting. Forgiving the person who caused our misery and forgetting the misdeeds done against us....

Letting go needs acceptance and courage. It means accepting circumstances which we can't change and requiring the courage and strength to overcome adversities.

Letting go is a learning process.Even if our world feels crumbling down,there is much wisdom gained after sufferings....

Letting go is an opportunity for us to seek and thank God....

"The young women will dance for joy, and the men --old and young--will join in the celebration. I will turn their mourning into joy. I will comfort them and exchange their sorrow for rejoicing." Jeremiah 31:13

"Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father's home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. And you know the way to where I am going." John 14:1 - 4

"Can anything ever separate us from Christ's love? Does it mean he longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? ......... No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow -- not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below -- indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord" Romans 8:35 - 39

"Those who have been ransomed by the Lord will return. They will enter Jerusalem singing, crowned with everlasting joy. Sorrow and mourning will disappear, and they will be filled with joy and gladness." Isaiah 51:11

"I am leaving you with a gift -- peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid." John 14:27

Spiritual Quotes

Prayer is the best shield against all trials;
A heart to heart talk with God will lessen your burden
for He will never say NO tho those who believe in Him.





God is not a COKE but He is the real thing;
God is not LIPOVITAN but He gets you going;
God is not REXONA but He will never let you down;
God is not METROBANK but with Him you're in good hands.





Coins always make sound but paper bills won't,
so when your value increases,keep yourself silent and humble.





Understand how beautifully God has added one more
day in your life,not because you need it
but because someone else needs you.

Healing of the Past

Sometimes when we get a touch
It’s painful to go through
God needs to open our hearts to Him
For the work He needs to do

It’s often not an easy time
Dealing with the past
But it’s necessary to sever it
So He can heal our hearts

For the issues of the past
That haven’t been resolved
Bring hindrances to God’s purposes
And discontentment to our souls

For God wants us all to live
Healed and walking free
Not bound to past rejections
But living in His victory

For that is where he uses us
Touching others through our lives
But we need to put away the past
And have God’s love inside

For He can do this if we ask
If we place our hope in Him
He’ll heal whatever holds us back
The brokenness within

For we don’t need to stay that way
When healing is in His hands
We can have a special touch
From the one who understands
