In today's podcast I want to share more about the first things I had to do when I realized I had a lot of unforgiveness in my heart.
I also talk about dealing with people in an understandable way, please also listen to the following wLL podcast:
wLL80 “Seeing Shadows”
Thank you so much for sharing Adina. Just this morning I was asking Him to help me see others as He sees them and now that I listened to you, I can also see how forgiveness plays a big part in that. I had an experience with my own father that I needed to forgive and I remember the way He made it happen is that I was looking in boxes for a bible because I did not have a bible in the house, I packed them all and stored them in the garage because of my anger towards God. When I went looking for my childhood bible I also found my father’s bible, when I opened it, he had Psalm 91 and immediately, my Husband showed me how my father had also had his own battles and immediately there was forgiveness and compassion in my heart for him.
Thank you for sharing Yvonne, to understand and have compassion on others make forgiveness so much easier. It makes loving the unloveable so much easier, It is not easy to have compassion on those who hurt us, and we need to SG to help us. And not just our parents, family or friends, but the lady at the cash register who is unfriendly with us and is having a bad day.
“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. “
Adina thank you l think I still have some conflicted feelings towards my parents… they are still alive but they don’t call me at all, my mother only messages me if me if she needs money.. which is fine, l always see it as an opportunity to give cheerfully and it’s my mom of course. I made up my mind to call and message them even if they dont call me. My parents never loved each other. Well I never saw that they did… got divorced when l turned 18 and then pushed the responsibility of taking care of my brothers between themselves and then on me & my sister’s always blaming each other. Gods word says to honour our parents so l have always tried to do that. Of course my parents don’t HAVE HIM and when we don’t have HIM we have nothing to give so I’m coming to understand even as I type that if it was not for His love l would have nothing to give too.
Thank you Atarah, growing up in difficult curcumstamces and as a child living in your parents struggles is not easy and leaves wounds that only He can heal. Today I just feel sad because they didn’t have Him or found His healing, comfort, love, peace and joy. Both my parents believed but they looked for comfort in earthly solutions and addictions. But when He helped me and opened my eyes to understand what they went through, the forgiveness and healing was immediate.
Thank you Adina for this podcast, I am following this series and I feel that it is also an answer to the times that I have asked him to heal my heart and teach me to forgive, he has shown me how forgiveness has given me so much freedom, and by listening to your podcast I see that it is also leading me to make my list, I am sure that it will show me many more things than I think, but even so I am excited because He does not forget what I asked of Him, He is healing me❤️
Yes Perla, with His guidance, He will show you if there is any unforgiveness that you need to deal with in order to reach complete healing in all areas of your life. It was not until He showed me where I needed to forgive, that true healing started. And the memories that is left, but now without any pain assosiated with it, I can use to share as He guides me.
I just started listening to your series. Thank you. I am a “list maker” ☺️ So I’m going to follow and do the same. I’m sure there are things I don’t even realize I have not forgiven. I’m going to talk to my HL. 💕
