Let it Go

Let it 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...
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.!!!
LET IT GO!!!
Get Right or Get Left .. think about it, and then
LET IT GO!!!

JUDAS was no villain, old document claims

I got this from philippine daily inquirer, I think its pretty interesting especially to the christians like me.

WASHINGTON, JUDAS ISCARIOT, vilified as Christ's betrayer, acted at Jeses request in turning him over to the authorities who crucified him, according to a 1,700-year-old copy of the "Gospel of Judas" unveiled on Thursday.

The Judas gospel was one of several ancient documents found in the Egyptian desert in 1970, was preserved and translated by a team of scholars and made public in an English translation by the National Geographic Society.

Its introduction says it is "the secred account of the revelation that Jesus spoke in conversation with Judas Iscariot."

"He's the good guy in this portrayal," said Bart Ehrman, a religion professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, "He's the only apostle who understands Jesus."

Later, it quotes Jesus as saying to Judas, "You will exceed all of them (the other disciples) for you will sacrifice the man who clothes me."

"The idea in this gospel is that Jesus, like all of us, is a trapped spirit, who is trapped in a material body," Ehrman said. "And salvation comes when we escape the materiality of our existence, and Judas is the one who makes it possible for him to escape by allowing for his body to be killed."

Rev. Donal Senior, president of Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, said the document revealed the diversity and vitality in early Christianity.

"The question becomes..... does this tradition, this alternative story, if you like, in the gospel of Judas have a claim that in some sense is equal to the rival claim of the gospel tradition?" Seinor said.

It is known who wrote the Judas gospel. The copy unveiled on Thursday was a document mentioned critically in the year 180 in a treatise called "Against Heresies," written by Irenaetis, bishop of Lyon in what was then Roman Gaul and now France.

The bishop denounced the manuscript as heresy because it differed from mainstream Christianity. The actual text had been thought lost until this discovery.

Elaine Pagels, a professor of religion at Princeton University, said, "The people who loved, circulated and wrote down these gospels did not think they were heretics."

LET THE DEBATES BEGIN

Added Senior: "Let a vigorous debate in the significance of this fascinating ancient text begin."

In the Bible's New Testament, Judas is portrayed as the quintessential traitor, acceptin 30 pieces of silver to betray Jesus by identifying him to Roman soldiers. The bibilica Gospel of St. Matthew says Judas quickly regretted his treachery, returned the silver and hanged himself.

The New Testament contains four Gospels -- of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John -- but many more so -called apocryphal gospels were written in the first centuries after Christ's death, attributed to such disciples as Thomas and Philip and to his female follower Mary Magdalene.

Why do Men bothered much bout SEX

I have a male friend, he's turning thirty three this year, acting like an insane person because of he never ever experience sex since birth.

And now hes getting older, and his parents plan an arrange wedding six months from now, he's acting very weird and very eager to experience sex before marriage. Well, I told him you can pay someone to do it with you or flirt someone who loves dating and sex with him after dating. But he's very afraid to do so and because I he's very desparate to do so, he never realized that he's acting like a maniac and worst lke a psychopat! grrr....


Now he's friend set him for a date with this lady and told him that she's a good companion. I didnt realized until he told me that he's thinking that he will have an opportunity to sex with this girl. (hey I was shocked with that just because of "she's a good companion"). And worst he really showed his intention to have sex with this girl without asking the girl nor any signs that the girl like to be with him in bed. Ended up the girl got mad at him. I pity him but I can only help him by listening and giving him pieces of advice. I sent him an email :

Anyways, bout your problem, You should not ask the girl to go out again with you just to ask apology to her in person. Better talk to her on the phone and sincerely apologize telling her for being sorry for the wrong notion of her being a "good companion." Still you respect her a lot and hoping she will see your good traits as a friend and she will trust you again.


But I think its not a problem, i dunno why you are very bothered for not experiencing sex. Its just in the mind. There are lot of things you can do better than sex. Sex will just come in the right place, right person, and right attitude. Sex do not measure your being a macho or being a hunk, its not just a game to play, It is a gift from God to express love and not just simply a plain reason for lust and physical satisfaction.

Hey its not bad if you will just do it alone whenever your body needs it. My dear friend, its all in the mind, you should be aware of controlling your needs and wants. In all aspects. Self dicipline is something, specially dealing with sexual desires. Cheer up! :) Its not the end of your life if you havent experience sex before marriage even you are a MAN. ok :)

I know sex is good but still it is not only sex that controls your life!. :-)

I hope I can help him.
