The hardest moments in our lives are to forgive those who have wronged us or hurt us deeply. We tend to believe they do not deserve to be “let off the hook.” I believed this for many years because most of the time forgiveness is taught in church in a very sugar-coated way. The truth about forgiveness is us giving up our right for vengeance against those who have hurt us and leaving them in God’s more than able hands. One thing we don’t realize when we carry unforgiveness with us is that it sours our hearts and souls. It causes us to handle everything on our own and never truly trusting God. I have been there before and even recently realized how angry and hurt I was by others. It carried over into every part of my life, even where I was happy.
It was when I wrote down each name of those who owned my anger and dislike and prayed to give up my right for vengeance for each of them and cross them out one by one. This allowed me to know they were all in my Saviors hands. Believe friends my heart has been hardened and calluses cover it because of this. I’m in a slow process of freedom and Jesus is the reason. I will get back to my love affair with Christ because he never left I just chose to close my eyes. Well no more! I pray that you to will forgive those who have hurt you and realize it doesn’t mean they got away with it.. it just means Jesus will deal with it while you can move on in peace. Also know our God is big enough that if one of those relationships is supposed to be healed he will heal it. Ask him to break off those unhealthy soul ties and turn completely your eyes and heart on Jesus! Amen
One Love, One King, All Christ!
