The Power In "Letting GO"

Attention!!! >>> This is a long article!!

I can't forgive him! No Never

I have forgiven her , but you see I can never ever forget what she did.

I forgave him ,I have even moved on .But everytime I see him my day turns blue😨

Me am not just into this forgiveness thing , it's just not my style..Am very good at keeping malice 🙄 I will just shut you out of my life for good!!!.

As a gardener,when they are weeds growing in my garden,the wise thing to do is to uproot them,gather them together and dispose them properly . Although I have uprooted the weeds ,if I left them in my garden and rainfalls ,the weeds will eventually grow back making my garden look like I never cleared in the first place..Do you get the picture? This is what happens when we don't totally let 'Go' of the hurt ,pain or anger we feel towards a person or a situation or ourselves..

Hmm, Faith what are you trying to say ? .Relax , I will get right to it..That was a parable 😉 The garden refers to your heart,while those unwanted plants (weeds) are the anger,pain ,hurt, sadness that you feel. And if you don't let them go properly like you should then they will grow back and like weeds they will choke up the seeds and if care is taken the seeds may die..What does this mean Faith? , It means if you allow those hurt ,anger and pain stay longer , you can get sick from it or even die...As supprising and unbelieving as it's sound it's the truth. Below are some of the side effects (All about anger, 2015, ReachOut.com, ReachOut Australia, Sydney);

 

• headache
• digestion problems, such as abdominal pain
• insomnia
• increased anxiety 
• depression
• high blood pressure
• skin problems, such as eczema
• heart attack
• stroke.

I just had to put that up here, so you can see what your doing to your self ,when you refuse to let go. 

(Today,I was so upset with the security guy in my compound,for something so little ,I can call it little now because I finally had to let go and this inspired today's article 😁).

Last year,  around the end of June and the beginning of July, I was hurt by a dear friend, Now when that happened ,at first I told my self; never ,never ,I will never talk to this person again. I was done ,I will cut off all ties . But I eventually I forgave this person ( thank God for His word in me ) and I spoke with the person. I may have looked too nice in the eyes of the people or the person in particular,but I was at peace. After a while,I knew I had forgiven this person and I thought I had "let go"  but then I would have "flash back" of the whole event and that moment I will just get furious...I knew I had forgiven this individual ,but the event still had some control over me ..And that is what God does not want for you.

God does not want a person or an event in the past to control your present and future.

If you have been hurt by a friend, sibling, mother ,father, boyfriend, girlfriend, husband,wife ,etc who ever it is as long as you hold on to that hurt you are giving that person CONTROL over your life .You may disagree,but that it is it.

 

"Let go" completly....so you can grow..Let go so all you feel is the love of God towards that person ..Am I saying you should let him/her back into your life? Well it depends on your relationship with that person,if it is a very close family member,then you can't really cut off from that person.let me use David in the bible as an example. He lived with Saul and served him but when he discovered that Saul wanted him dead he fled..That's wisdom, Saul hated David, David loved Saul and his family .How do I know David loved Saul ? When Saul died and news was brought to David,  he did not rejoice at the news.He had several opportunities to kill Saul but he didn't..If David had stayed back in Saul house , knowing fully well he wanted him dead then Saul would have killed David eventually..So there is a time to stay a way, there's the time to limit the information you give to that person about your self because you don't trust the persons actions.But do not carry hate & resentment in your heart .God does not want that !!!

Not being close to some one does not mean you hate the person or your are still angry at the person ,it just means you and that person are no longer going in the same direction . There's nothing wrong in changing your circle but you should respond in love whenever you meet .

God is love and so we must walk in love .But you do that with knowledge;the knowledge of God's word. And you must listen to what the Holy spirit is telling you ( am assuming you know who He is)..This is to answer the question what if I forgive the person and he/she hurts me again.You can avoid that from happening when you listen to your spirit.

It takes a lot of strength to forgive and let go ...And you have that. You can start with confessions ( our lives goes in the direction of our words) .

Tell yourself; I let go  of every Hurt and pain. I forgive ( the name of the person who hurt you),I forgive myself .I am full of love, Joy and peace. 

 

When you do this, you will experience joy like never before.Those things you desired and prayed for , you'll find them coming to pass, Why , because you have cleared out the weeds so the seeds can grow.

I have learnt that when God instructs us  to do something, 99% of the time ,it is for our own good..

Maybe the reason your not married yet is because you have not forgiven your Ex, you're still praying for him/her to fail in life (lol) . Maybe the reason why it looks like things are not working out is because you still hurting inside. And if it's you that need to apologize then do so..Let it go..life on this earth is short.

Even right now ,you can make this change. Do it for yourself,yes you are that important .If your need to cry it out ,cry it out,if you need to shout ,shout .Let go of the past so something new can happen!!!!! . 

Let go!!! Free yourself.

Let go!! Trust God!!

Let go and let Love in...

Let go and live longer

Holding on means killing yourself slowly!!

I leave you with this Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you

God's word does not make sense to the mind..It is for our spirits.let it soak!!!
