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
