 <\/p>\n

This week we embark upon a resolution to release others from the prison of our hurt and anger.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Forgiveness \u2013 for some this brings a flood of bad memories.\u00a0 For others, it brings freedom and liberation! \u00a0Forgiveness for some can be a very difficult action.\u00a0 It means releasing the sins of others that have hurt us.\u00a0 It means having to \u201clet go\u201d of what we have been harboring for years.\u00a0 It means stepping out of something that has become a \u201cnormal\u201d in our life, into something of the unknown.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For some, \u201cletting go\u201d means fear.\u00a0 \u201cThis is all I have known.\u00a0 What will life be like without it?\u201d\u00a0 It means, not having the emptiness, anger, bitterness, and hatred, on the inside anymore.\u00a0 These are things that some have come to adopt into their lives and have held them close inside their hearts for many many years.\u00a0 It means stepping out of something that has become \u201ccomfortable\u201d to them.\u00a0 Something they have learned to live with.\u00a0 Something that sleeps, eats, watches television, plays, works and travels with them, everywhere they go.\u00a0 It\u2019s like the shadow that has been following them \u2026. For all these years!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For some, forgiveness means the wrong was made right.\u00a0 What I mean by this, is that they fear by forgiving someone who has wronged them, it\u2019s like saying what they have done to them is okay now.\u00a0 No.\u00a0 That is not what forgiveness is, at all.\u00a0 Hurt is not okay; whether it\u2019s emotional, physical, or mental.\u00a0 Forgiveness does not grant freedom to the sin\u2026.it grants freedom to the one who was sinned upon.\u00a0 Do you know what I mean by that?\u00a0 I mean forgiveness is for YOUR benefit\u2026.in so many different ways.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Forgiveness means freedom for YOU!!\u00a0 It means stepping out of those prison walls that have held you captive all these years.\u00a0 Whether the sin committed was towards you, or you yourself committed the sin\u2026.forgiveness awaits you!\u00a0 And I can\u2019t wait for you to read this chapter this week and find out what God has waiting just for YOU!!\u00a0 \u201cWhom the Son sets free is free indeed\u201d!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Forgiveness IS a beautiful thing!<\/p>\n

Father, I pray for each and every woman that is reading this blog and this chapter this week.\u00a0 I pray Lord that You will open their ears and their eyes Lord to what You have for them!\u00a0 Lord, I pray that the words of this book will jump off the pages for them, and show them just how liberating Your true forgiveness really is!\u00a0 Lord, walk alongside each one of them; talk to them; show them Lord what harboring unforgiveness is doing to them, not only spiritually, but physically and emotionally, as well.\u00a0 Lord, I pray for those who are harboring unforgiveness this week, that this will be their week that the chains of bondage will be released, and the prison doors will swing wide open, and they will be able to walk in total freedom, in Your Precious Name, Lord.\u00a0 For whom You set free Lord, is free indeed!!\u00a0 AMEN!!<\/p>\n
