Are you familiar with the “Let Them” theory? I’ll tell you the more I grow the more I am okay with accepting the “Let Them” in my own life and relationships.

This is something that took me a very long time to learn. I used to tolerate a lot because I didn't want to lose people. But I learned the hard way if they were really my people they would never treat me like that. Don't make the mistake of being so understanding and forgiving that you overlook the fact that you're being repeatedly disrespected.

Let them be upset.
Let them judge you.
Let them misunderstand you.
Let them gossip about you,
Let them ignore you.
Let them be "right."
Let them doubt you.
Let them not like you.
Let them not speak to you.
Let them run your name in the ground.
Let them make you out to be the villain.
Whatever it is that people want to say about you, let them!
Kindly step aside and LET THEM.

The hard truth is they know how much they are hurting you. And they just simply don't care. They did it knowing it could cause them to lose you. And they did it anyway. People that love you care about how they make you feel. The end. Let them go.

There will be people that would rather lose you than be honest about what they've done to you. Let them go.

The lack of respect was the closure. The lack of apology was the closure. The lack of care was the closure. The lack of acountability was the closure. The lack of honestly was the closure. Let them go.

You can still be kind. You can even still love them deeply. But do it from the distance they created in their words and actions. Access to you is a privilege they have proven they can’t be trusted with. Let them go.

It’s taken me a long time to get here. Sleepless nights, countless tears, managing a range of emotions filled with anger, disappointment, confusion and deep hurt. Lots of self reflection, self preservation, deep prayer and seeking wisdom from those much wiser than me.

If you are struggling with this please know you are not alone. We will never understand why hurt people hurt people. But we can do the hard work to grow ourselves. Because healed people do in fact heal people.

Don’t you dare let them steal your joy.
Don’t you dare let them steal your light.
Don’t you dare let them steal your peace.
You are in control of that.

Hold tight to what you can control and release your grip on what you can’t control.

Let them go. 🤍✨✨✨

Checklist: Transactional Relationship vs. Authentic Covenant Relationship-

One of the most painful things that can happen is when we mistake a transactional relationship for a covenant relationship. People may come into our lives looking to get a need met or seeking opportunity while pledging their undying support and love. This often creates confusion and eventually pain when the true nature of the relationship is discovered here are some signs of transactional relationship versus covenant relationship-

Transactional Relationship:
- Only connects when there’s something to gain.
- Focuses on "What can you do for me?"
- Lacks vulnerability and depth.
- Easily broken when convenience fades.
- Avoids sacrifice or personal investment.
- Operates with a spirit of competition or manipulation.
- Emphasizes benefits over genuine connection.

Authentic Covenant Relationship:
- Built on mutual love, trust, and respect.
- Focuses on "How can we grow together in Christ?"
- Includes vulnerability, honesty, and transparency.
- Stands firm through challenges and seasons of life.
- Requires sacrificial love and consistent investment.
- Encourages and nurtures God-given purposes in each other.
- Reflects the heart of God’s covenant with His people.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 – "Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their labor."

Let’s believe for true covenant relationships in 2025. Let’s also commit to continued spiritual and emotional growth so that we can connect to people in a godly and effective manner.

Sometimes, we unknowingly limit ourselves, staying within barriers that no longer serve us. This image serves as a powerful metaphor for how we can feel ‘stuck’ despite having the freedom to move forward. It’s a reminder to step back, reassess, and realize that the gate is open, and the path to growth is ours to take. - unknown author

What do you need to change … in 2025?
