Just wanted to share my #GodWhispers experience yesterday. So God has been talking to me since some time, dealing with me about forgiveness. About how I can’t let my emotions get the best of me.
So here’s the thing, a couple of days ago, I shared a post about forgiveness. It made me realize that about how ‘not forgiving’ someone was hurting me more than anyone else. And the message mentioned that it was not only important to forgive them but I had to bless them too, not a signed-sealed blessing, but the real kind, the ‘from-my-heart’ kind. And I prayed and I really tried to bless those who I felt have hurt me. But it took a toll on me, I was so tired, I felt a heaviness over me and I asked God ‘Why, is there still a heaviness, if I have forgiven them?’. God reminded me that when someone is carrying a heavy weight for a long long time, their body gets used to that weight, their body adapts to that weight. So you can’t just take off the weight all at once, it has to be removed gradually so that it won’t hurt you in the present or the future. Similarly, I would have to give my heart time to unload all the hurt, so that it does not come back again.
It’s so wonderful to be in God’s presence. And you know what, I can feel satan is losing his grip over my feelings and my life, because oh well, i just know!
God is going to work in me and my family, I have faith. A wonderful line I read today that fills me with joy because I really feel His hand over me, guiding me, moulding me – “I am making imperfect progress. Shifting, breaking away, and being chiseled. I am a woman whose identity has been changed by coming face to face with the One who has the power to completely transform me” ~ Lysa Terkeust. Amen,!!!
