*sitting here shaking my head in utter amazement* Girl, this post is exactly what I need to be reminded of. I've been going through some tough times in the last month now and want out. I consider this a gift from you to me.

Thank you.

Good post...this is really hard for me. And it really did me a lot of good to read this.

This is an amazing post, and it goes straight to the heart of a problem I've been trying to dig through right now in my life. I remember hearing that saying, if you love someone - let them go. I never understood what that means, but this post kind of put it into perspective for me (along with a lot of extensive reading through theological diatribes and the Bible).

What I've abstracted so far is that love, I should capitalise that because I'm not speaking of secular love, but of Divine Love, - the real deal - is not a selfish thing, but a selfless thing. If you love someone, and they constantly abuse your love, let them go. Don't stop loving them, but allow them their space so that you can grow, and they can as well. When the time comes, if it's meant to be, that love will be transformed into something infinitely more special than any form of secular love you can find in this world.

Dear Peculiarone,
Thankyou so much for posting this about Letting Go. A term I use so often to others but so hard to do myself. A close and trusted, tho seemingly unbelieving buddie, cut off our friendship as I apparently, to her mind, mentioned 'the word Christian' too much, and she needed a break from all things Christian. I didnt think I'd changed suddenly and we had been very close for over 35 years.

Well anyway what I want to share is that a few weeks ago , after 12 months of no "Meeting for Coffee" ( as she said we might one day), it came to me that I could write an Obituary to the friendship. I did and that has left me SetFree !!! Praise the Lord.!!
I wrote as tho someone had come forward at a funeral to speak of the life of the deceased, in a loving, positive, thankful tone and asking they rest in peace.
Just thought the idea might help someone else Let Go too.
Thankyou again Peculiarone... God Bless you.
