Often times we fail to realize how we're holding ourselves back by not letting go of past hurt. And allowing feelings of resentment to form in our hearts and minds. We've all been on the receiving end of hurt and mistreatment. When you find yourself constantly talking about what happened in the past and treating those around you as though they were the cause of your pain you've allowed resentment to take root and grow. It's easy to say we've forgiven those who've done us wrong, yet our words reflect the truth. What's really going on inside. When we're able to fully let go it's freeing. Holding on to hurt can become a hindrance to developing new and meaningful connections. It puts you on guard even to those who mean you well, and I believe it blocks the channels of blessings that rightfully belongs to you. When we're honest with ourselves and with God it opens the way for forgiveness and healing to truly take place. Some wrongs are easier to forgive than others, God is patient and is willing to work with us through our most painful experiences. Be honest with yourself and with Him. This is our moment to be free and let go of the resentment that has been holding us back. Never forget, we are unstuck, and we are free!
Awesome words...
Yes, we have to let it go! Whatever it is, whoever it is, whatever it takes and regardless of what was done to us, we must let it go. As I read this, it reminded me so vividly about an experience I had where I was holding resentment against someone for having done me wrong. I wanted them ti suffer the way they had made me suffer. It was more of an internal wish, but certainly one that had me mentally bound. Until one day a friend gave be the best advice I’d ever gotten from someone and that was to ask God for peace with the situation and the wrong that had been done to me. Thank God…
