Subject: HOW DO YOU WALK AWAY


> HOW DO YOU WALK AWAY
> This is truly something to think about!!!
> How many people find that it is hard to walk away from the past?
> Relationships, jobs, friends, family, church, etc.  There are times in
> life when walking
> away is the only option.
> That unequally yoked relationship.  You are moving in one direction and
> they are moving in another.  You want one thing out of life and they
> want another.
> How do you turn and walk away?
> What about the job that stopped challenging you years ago?  Do you stay
> there because you are half way to retirement, or do you walk away and go
> do something
> that brings your joy back?
> How do you walk away?
> What about those friendships that seem to keep going up and down?  One
> day you are friends and the next day you are not.  Do you stay in that
> friendship
> when it causes more hurt than happiness?  Is this one of those who will
> be removed?
> How do you walk away?
> What about the family member that continues to borrow all that you have?
> Do you continue to lend them the money/car/time, or do you step back and
> allow
> God to be God?
> How do you walk away from what you've done for so long?
> What about the church that you stopped growing in many years ago?  Do
> you stay there because that's the only church that you know, or do you
> move on to
> a new church where you will have spiritual growth?
> How do you walk away?
> Walking away is not easy, staying is sometimes worse.
> When a situation no longer has grace, is it better to stay or leave?
> There are times when God is saying to walk away and there are times when
> He is saying
> to stay, but unless you have a personal relationship, you have no idea
> what He is saying.
> God will allow us to stay in things as long as we would like.  It is up
> to us to listen when He says go.
> We should not get mad when things continue to go in the wrong direction,
> when God has given us His direction.  I didn't come today to say walk
> away, I came
> to ask the question "how do you walk away?"
> I too have asked this question many days and always heard the Lord say
> "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all
> these things
> shall be added unto you." That's the key, seek God for the answer.
> There are times when He will have a delay in His response.  There are
> times when you will miss God's answer.  There are times when you will
> stay regardless
> of His answer to you, but know that God is a God that always answers the
> prayers of the righteous.  He answers in His time, not ours.  Just wait
> for Him.
> So how do you walk away?  Ask God to order your steps and the walk
> becomes that much easier.   Amen!!!
> I pray that these words have somehow Blessed you and that you will share
> them with someone who needs to hear that He is still in the Blessing
