Still thinking about this subject.
It's interesting to me how I remember feeling IF I forgave, it was like the "offender" got off the hook. Who would hold him prisoner any longer?
Today I see that I was the one who was held captive when I did not forgive.
When we dwell in and hang on to all the offenses, hurts and sadness's we are the one affected..not the offender.
Please remember once again.... there is an enemy of our soul. he wants us crippled in hate, worry, panic, anxiety, depression, self pity, pain, discouragement and the like. he often walks into our lives thru the door of the hurt that we have experienced.
Remember with me AGAIN
that Christ has come that you might have life AND
LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY!!
Oh yes we will continue to be hurt, offended and wounded BUT God is our Healer, our Defender and our Very Present Help in time of trouble.
HE understands.
HE knows all about our lives ...even what we do not know.
HE says Vengeance is Mine.
He will take care of you AND "IT"
Do you dare trust Him?
Do you dare to let Him protect you?
Do you believe that No one gets off the hook and (as Ive written in another blog) that when we "loose" it it will be loosed in heaven.
There is no sweeter Name than the Name of JESUS
Let HIM have HIS way in you today~
Blessings!
So good, Marnie.
