Hello my fellow Prayer Warriors! π
God Truly LoVes Me! β₯οΈ
For these past few weeks I have been doing things a little different. In the process, which it has not been easy but it was so worth it, God has shown me some areas in my life that I needed to change.
One day, as I was praying the word "Forgiveness" came to my mind. I was like "okay God, I get it, you want me to forgive them." But I felt that His response was "No, I want you to go and ask for forgiveness." It was a difficult step of obedience to take. But after trying to "negotiate" with God and God reminding me of "Jonah." I understood that it was better to do it the good way lol.
I went and asked for forgiveness and God truly amazed me at what had happened.
A few days later, as I was listening to a preaching, the Pastor started talking about how roots of anger can begin to grow when one is hurt by others. I was like "Anger is not the same as hurt," but as the sermon went on, I was able to understand that when one gets hurt after a while that hurt/frustration/annoyance turns into anger. The Pastor mentioned how we had to forgive OR otherwise that anger will affect all of our relationships (specially marriage). In order to forgive it meant that we had to RELEASE it to God what happened in the past (or how we felt we were wronged). FORGIVENESS is not FORGETTING but RELEASING. By the end of the sermon, God had already placed in my heart exactly who I had been "carrying" around this whole time: my dad. I told God that I want to do His will and forgive him as God forgives us but I would definitely need His help! Well,I think God actually healed my heart cause flash forward to this morning and as I am talking to God, I started feeling this peace and joy. βοΈ
As I kept talking to God, something came to my thoughts: I AM your FATHER! I will never leave you nor forsake you!
I have heard and even sang songs with those words but looking back, I realized it was all part of going through the motions. Just doing it or singing it cause I knew it was the "right" thing to do.
But, not today. And from this day forward which happens to be FATHER'S DAY (God has the right timing) I KNOW He is my FATHER! π₯°ππβοΈ
Thank you all for praying for me and for keeping praying for me. God bless! π
