Someone said, “I’m not asking you to walk in my shoes; I’d never wish my afflictions on anyone. But could you walk beside me on secure ground and reach to hold my hand? They have not walked in your shoes; don’t put much stock in their opinions.”
Life is a series of decisions. The decision that you made at 24 wouldn’t be the same decisions you made at 49 because you’ve had more life experience in those years. I write about what happened in my life so that other people may not feel alone like I did. When I was going through my toughest times I felt like I was all alone like no one knew what I was going through and no one could understand. It is a very isolated feeling, to think you’re all alone and you’re scared and don’t know what to do and you can’t talk to anyone because they would never understand.
I thank God for walking with me to a place where I live in a body racked with pain while trying to maintain my demeanor on a high note. I was stigmatized as lazy, crazy, and disgusting.
Through the years i learned more about myself and learned self-compassion. I discipline myself not to look to the right or look to the left but look up or down. It’s where I learned that my heart matters to God.
These days I’m reading about people who were not afraid to tell the truth. In my journey I have found by experiences that truth really sets you free.
I I come from a place of brokenness that only forgiveness could heal. Because at the end of the day you must be forgiven to enter into eternity with GOD. That’s what Jesus came to do. His work on the cross- his death, his burial, resurrection, and his ascension.
Here’s the teeth that gives power to the law of forgiveness: GOD forgive you ONLY if you forgive those who injured your heart, your soul, your body, your mind, your emotions, and your will. No! its not easy to forgive. Jesus bled and died to forgive.
It is a circumcision of the heart. We let go and let GOD.
When you forgive you heal…
