LETTING GO OF THE HURT

LETTING GO OF THE HURT


FORGIVENESS is ONE of the
Things that is very difficult=
To do=I think it is HARD
For most people


Although I have met a FEW people
Who forgive easily=I don't think
It is NATURAL for most of us


“If you FORGIVE men their transgressions=
Your Father will FORGIVE YOU” Matthew 6:14


I think for most people=HURTS pile up
Like a bunch of dirty laundry=and the clothes
Won't get clean UNLESS you do something about it


We NEED to BRING our hurts and resentments
To the ONE who has the POWER
To HEAL our hurts


FORGIVENESS is NOT something that
We do on our own=we have to have
The COURAGE and HUMILITY to
Forgive another=forgiveness is
LETTING IT GO


“For the sake
Of your name=Lord


Forgive my iniquity=though
It is GREAT” Psalm 25:11


“Lord-listen!=Lord-FORGIVE!
Lord=HEAR and act!=


For your sake-my God=
Do not delay
Because your city


And your people
BEAR your name” Daniel 9:19


“This is HOW my heavenly Father
Will treat each of you


Unless you forgive
Your brother or sister
From your HEART” Matthew 18:35


As FOLLOWERS of Christ=it is our
DUTY to forgive our brothers
And sisters


It is our duty to forgive
If we IN TURN want
To be forgiven by God


“BLESSED are the MERCIFUL
For they
Will be shown MERCY” Matthew 5:7


“For if you FORGIVE other people
WHEN they sin against you


Your HEAVENLY FATHER
Will also FORGIVE YOU” Matthew 6:14


LETTING GO of the hurt
LET GO and let GOD!


Forgiveness is NOT forgetting=excusing=
Or ACCEPTING PAIN=it is simply
LETTING GO of it


OPEN your heart to God=let
The hurt go


PRAYER readies the heart and mind to
LET the hurt go=and helps us NOT to diminish
Our love and our kindness for others


LET GO OF THE HURT!


“.............
Who despises a vile person
But HONORS those
Who fear the Lord-


Who keeps an OATH
Even when it HURTS


And does not
Change their mind” Psalm 15:4


Let go and LET GOD!
LETTING GO OF THE HURT!
Brings us closer to GOD=and
Even makes us FEEL BETTER
About ourselves


In Jesus' name and the name of HIS MOST HOLY FATHER
