-Teach me how to forgive. I so want to be able to live my
life without having ANY hard feelings towards ANYONE...
hmmmm "hard" feelings... that sums it up perfectly.
+ There is something I want you to always remember.
Keep this in the forefront of your mind and heart. Think about what I said on
the cross: “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.”
People who wound you really have no idea of the
emotional and psychological damage their actions can cause. They are
unthinking…often insensitive…many times concerned with themselves…but most
times, your injury is a secondary thing….not their purposeful intent. They
truly know not what they do.
Because I understood this so well, I was able to
separate the actions of an angry, stirred-up mob from the deeds of the foolish,
weak people My Father sent me to save. His deep love overshadowed Me even in My
most desperate situation, and kept My vision clear. His love knows no measure.
That day, I showed you the way to love your enemies and those who hurt you:
pray a blessing on them. Ask the Father to forgive them. Refrain from judging
their motives or from thinking you know their hearts. Leave that to your
Father, who keeps you safe and protects your heart even as He did Mine despite
the pain. Freedom was what I came to buy.
Because you are in Me (in Me you live and move and have your being) your
responses to all that could disappoint you or hurt you have been redeemed. You
can expect to be filled with that living water gushing out of you. That same relationship I had with the Father
is yours. You are an heir apparent!! Yes….it is clear! There is power that
resides in you to love just like your Papa loves. So, get ready to meet your
day with high expectation of the Spirit’s empowering. He will never fail you.
Shalom!
