THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS
There has been times in my past that I have carried grudges, pain and hurt so close to my heart, that I was unable to function. When I look back at those days I cringe at the thought of how much time and energy I wasted not allowing myself to FORGIVE. When I gave my life to Christ I made it a priority to RELEASE ALL THE PAIN I carried for all those years. During my prayer times I realized that if I was to ever have a REAL ANOINTING, that I would have to mend all areas of FORGIVENESS in my life.
It started with myself.
I wanted everyone to know that when you take the time and forgive someone that has caused you PAIN, it frees you and it gives you PEACE OF MIND.
You can then slowly begin to transcend your hurt and get to a place in your heart and mind where the hurt is no longer HOLDING YOU BACK.
Fill your days with joy and let the anger and frustrations go so that you can live the life that is meant for you.
My prayer for everyone who comes across my blog today is to STRIVE TO DO YOUR VERY BEST and display forgiveness each day of your life.
There is such great POWER IN FORGIVENESS.

Forgiveness does not come easy for most of us. But boy it is so necessary in order to have any kind of peace of mind!
ReplyDelete@Neisha...This is so true. Why carry all that weight around, it PULLS YOU DOWN!!! WAY DOWN!!! The only way to have peace of mind is to let it go. Thanks for your comment. I hope you come back to the blog soon. God Bless.
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say Lashon....Are you speaking directly at me? You are such a inspiration to me. I was feeling down and was confessing The Blood of Jesus Christ, I was sitting here praying and I was calling out to God to give me the ability to forgive someone from my past. Your words made this light bulb click on and I just started crying........Thank you Jesus!
ReplyDeleteI felt really good reading this. Did our paths cross by accident? I doubt it!! THANK YOU LASHON!! Let that pain Go has been my motto since an early age. Without going into detail, I had to let go of that anger because it was slowly killing me inside. My amazing Pastor has given me a reason to smile and believe in the good in people. My relationship with god is a good one and slowly I am learning to love myself .
