Forgiveness is a powerful weapon. When we forgive those who have hurt us and our love ones it sets us free and also them as well. It takes time on our knees to come to this point.
I think what was a reality check for me was when another Christian told me "Jesus died for your abusers too" I was in shock!
But I knew it was true. And I did not hate them so much to see them in hell. So, I began to one by one forgiving them and praying for their salvation.
It was not easy to do at first. My flesh hated it but I knew it was pleasing unto God that I forgive in order to be forgiven.
Forgiveness help me to be setfree from the bondage the past had over me all those years. It help me to move on and learn how to "be ye angry and sin not."
I've been writing a book about my life and it has not been easy. I always try to keep it balanced. By writing a little and praying alot.
I have also found alot of freedom from doing this because it is out in the open and no longer hidden secret. Our secrets keep us sick and in bondage to the abuse.
Postive journaling has been a big help also to me. It helps me to press on and move forward.
And ministrying to others helps me to get out of self.
Just thought I would share this to encouarge others.
