Forgiveness is for us to receive❤🙏

Forgiveness is for us to receive.

It's important to release the pain caused by others in our lives. We must be ready to release unforgiveness and move forward. I have learned from God the true strength of forgiveness. To comprehend forgiveness, it's essential to grasp its definition. I checked the Merriam-Webster dictionary, which defines forgiveness as ceasing to hold resentment against an offender. This means that someone has wronged us somehow, leading us to desire revenge in our hearts. We replay the situation in our minds, fostering hatred, anger, and bitterness toward the person who harmed us. You may believe that forgiving that person is too difficult.

"You are feeling this way mainly because you are doing everything I discussed in this blog."

Sadly, it is a lot of people who walk around with unforgiveness in their hearts. You can tell that people are very mad and it hinders them from forgiveness. I know the feeling of holding on to that unforgiveness all too well. I think about a time when I had to forgive the very people I trusted. It wasn’t a great feeling at all. God tried to tell me that the people I felt like I could trust were not able to be trusted. But I didn’t listen to the warnings. He sent people to tell me that the people I was trusting were going to break my heart. Little did I know that I was going to see exactly why God wanted me to leave those people alone. I was being deceived by the enemy and no one was there to help me because I was living off of a high that I couldn’t stop. Mainly because the people I was trusting were in church and were in ministry. But just because people are in church that doesn’t necessarily mean that they are saved and living the way God wants them to. We have to be careful with trusting some people because they could be wolves in sheep's clothing as the bible mentions in Matthew 7:15. I thank God that he has truly helped me forgive the people that I trusted. No one wants to talk about these things, but we are going to talk about the truth. I was very hurt because I was betrayed and tricked and because of my disobedience I ended up dealing with more hurt than I needed to have.

 "I remember blaming myself for allowing them and the enemy to deceive me, but I learned that it was all a part of the devil's plans to stop me from reaching my purpose in life."

Have you ever been there? You trusted someone and they let you down with hurt and pain? If you have and you can understand where I am coming from share your comments in the comment section if you feel comfortable. I’ve learned that talking about what made you feel hurt and pain will take the enemy's upper hand off of your situation the enemy has no choice, but to flee. In the bible, James 4:7 states that if we submit to God to resist the devil he has to flee from us. I love this scripture because it is the key to many of our problems dealing with forgiveness. I’ve learned that the devil wants to stay hidden because he is operating as the prince of darkness so everything he does he wants to be done in secret. But it is the word of God that exposes the devil's schemes and tactics. Thank God for his word that exposes all the lies that the devil is trying to cause in our lives. The word of God is truth and nothing less than that. When we study the word of God we are feeding the spiritual man that is in our hearts. Which helps us to become stronger even in our weaknesses. 'But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me 2 Corinthians 12:9. So if you are feeling guilt please understand that the Holy Spirit is convicting you of sin simply because he loves you. We no longer have to be ashamed to talk about how we felt when we were hurt because talking about it frees us from a stronghold of unforgiveness.  When it comes to forgiveness you have to deal with the pain and face it head on. Let God heal you from the trauma, hurt, and pain once and for all. You will be a better person because you have forgiven yourself and the people that offended you. I pray that this blog encourages you to forgive the very ones who hurt you severely and move forward with God helping you to heal forever. Don’t allow yesterday's trauma and fear to keep you from God and receive all that god has for you. Forgive yourself and trust God. He doesn’t want you to hold all of that resentment in your heart. Because it is unhealthy and damaging to your life in general. You will feel so much better when you have truly walked in forgiveness. I truly have forgiven and it feels amazing. I love on purpose and with a purpose more than I ever have and you can too.
