Letting Go When it Hurts
Have you ever being hurt or let down? Have someone wronged you so much that you find it very difficult to forgive him or her and let go the wrong?If you've ever been hurt, heartbroken, wronged, tortured, persecuted, disappointed, abused or used; then you are not alone.
God's greatest Gift to the world, Jesus Christ, went through all this, and even more than you can ever imagine. The people He came to save (that is you and I) misinterpreted His good intentions and words, we didn't believe in Him, we called Him a devil, we arrested Him as a criminal, we spanked Him, slapped Him, spat on Him, mocked Him, lashed Him, placed a heavy cross on His already broken and bleeding body, and finally crucified Him.
Friends, it will have been a just deed for the Son of Man to have repaid us according to our deeds. But against what His tattered broken body and soul might have been wishing for, He pronounced forgiveness on Adam's race. His words;
From
My dear friend, I’m not saying having to do this is easy. But I’m saying it's possible through the grace of Christ. And that God expects us to forgive those who have hurt us even as He has forgiven us: for this is the highest standard we are called to emulate from our Saviour and Lord, Christ Jesus.
Beloved, are you willing to let go that terrible wrong action against you? Are you willing to forgive that fellow who terrible shattered your life and your dreams? Are you willing to forgive the one who used and abused you, and finally broke your heart? Are you willing to forgive that mother or father who never cared whether you were dead or alive and now is seeking reconciliation when you no more need his services?
Beloved, may the good Lord who first forgave us, give each one of us the needed grace to follow His supreme example of forgiveness.
Stay blessed and keep shining for King Jesus.
