Good evening Family!!! I thank God for the fact that He has been so very patient with me and that He has continuously forgiven me for each and every sin I have committed against Him by word, thought or deed!!! I thank Him for His grace and mercy that He extends to me daily!!! Sometimes God will orchestrate and arrange circumstances and use those who are willing and teachable to transform, renew and perfect that which concerns you. Sometimes God is trying to impart something, give you a deeper understanding or even extract those things which are not desirable out of you!!!! Im sharing because transparency is necessary so that the light of God and His purpose can be seen. I had a conversation with a dear friend of mine who I admire a great deal. He is a loving husband, father and above all loves the Lord with every breath he takes and walks in great humility, character and integrity. We were discussing forgiveness and a particular situation that has been bothering me for about 8 years. I explained to him that I had been hurt deeply by someone I love deeply but that I would be alright with loving that person from a distance because of the hurt that I experienced. I explained to him some of my thoughts on forgiveness and that it wasnt the fact that I hadnt forgiven. God used this gentlemen to shed some light on how I so call forgive. He listened to me thoroughly and heard me out and wasnt judgemental at all and what he said to me convicted me to the core and set my spirit free to forgive my loved one without inhibition. He asked me a critical question that humbled me and brought me to repentance. He said Remi what if God said to you I forgive you but you cant come close to me again....... I forgave you but I didnt forget......what if He disassociated Himself from you even after you repented and said .....Ill never let you back in.....how would you feel????? My first response was ....Wow God....Wow....with tears swelling up in my eyes I immediately felt the pain I have caused my loved one by not totally forgiving them. To that loved one I deeply apologize to you and love you more than words can say.... and to God I repent for my lack of total and complete forgiveness....I thank God for my friend who cared enough and loved his sister in Christ enough to tell me the truth. God allowed the Holy Spirit to prune me so that growth could take place!!! Its never too late to forgive!!! I thank my brother in Christ for allowing the Lord to use you mightily!!!! May God eternally bless you and your lovely family!!!! Be forever blessed family and continue to be a blessing!!! #FORGIVENESSHEALS
