Have you ever noticed that the New Testament repeats itself?  Read the epistles and letters and you will notice that the apostles repeat themselves.  Why?  Because as humans we do not get it the first time.  Sometimes we don’t get it the second time.  Maybe three times.  Please do not say more than that.  Yet, it is true.  Learning is built on repetition. 

 

So what I will write this morning is repetitious but I need to hear it.  There  are some people that bring joy into your life.  They pray with you.  They encourage you, protect you, build you up.  These are the people you cherish.  They want your best and the best for you.

 

Then there are people that are all about themselves.  They want what they want for themselves.  They don’t care who they hurt.  They don’t care what they destroy.  It is all about their own ways, their own advancements, their own control.  These people let go of.  Sooner or later they will hurt the people around them.  Why?  Because they were hurt at one time, so they hurt others.   These people are the ones that only God can help, heal, and grow.  Let them go.

 

We keep toxic or controlling people in our lives thinking we can help them.  Often times that is not true.  Let them go to God’s care.  Watch what He will do with them.  Think about it.
