Tyler Perry is so right his message came at the time I needed it. I have been going through so much, with my divorce, my family and so called friends lately. I have a problem with forgiving. It seem so hard to forgive after someone has wronged me.
I began to have hate stored up. I didn't hate my ex husband, I did hate my mom but I hated myself, I guess I hated myself for me allowing them to come into my heart and hurting me so bad. That hate I had for myself I would project on to others.
My divorce was final on Wednesday, September 19, 2012 of last week and it is like a big weight lifted off me. I loved him for the fact we have a child together but after all we went through I didn't and do not love him as a person on a personal level. When the judge said it was over all of a sudden I felt this feeling of joy a feeling I hadn't felt in years. I felt happy, I felt like smiling, I felt like I was the beautifulest woman to ever walk the earth. I felt as if God opened the gates of heaven and was like "It doesn't get any better than this" I felt God holding my hand and asking me to trust him from now on. I can say I love my ex as a brother in Christ but nothing more.
Isaiah 38:17
Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.
It took a long time for me to forgive him for all the pain and all the mischievousness, I tell you God used so many people around me to save me, to teach me to love and forgive. It wasn't that they were "christian people", it wasn't the positive things, and it wasn't the advice. I truly tell you it was the negativity I seen in the people around me that forced me to forgive those that wronged me, because I was able to see them in the eyes God provided for me to see them in I began to see those that wronged me in a new light.
Ephesians 4:32And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
I couldn't do anything else but forgive and love any and everyone that wronged me. Christ forgive me daily, who am I not to forgive those that wrong me.
“Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.” Hebrews 10:35-36 KJV
