Don't let me forget about what you have given me. An amazing husband who is supportive of my dreams and who loves me so much, a great family that is always there for us, and a wonderful church that is full of great friendships.
My husband is a funeral director here in Oklahoma and everyday I hear about another family that is going through a loss of a loved one. Of course our days are numbered, but do we really contemplate what that actually means. Seriously life is so short. It is sad when you hear about people who had a fight with their close friend or family member and the next day they were gone. How awful to live with that. So today start by asking Jesus to forgive you of any unnecessary guilt or unforgiveness. This allows the healing power of God to bring us back to where we first received it in the first place...the cross. That is where we were forgiven. Please don't forget...(I can hear God whispering this to me now) that I told Peter you must forgive your brother 70 times 7. I mean God is not in favor of us holding pain inside us where He cannot get to it. His desire is to heal it and bring restoration. Obviously I do not know where you came from, your life story, your aches and pains, but I can tell you I have had those before. A grudge so deep that it turns into hate and anger. I could not think of anything but getting back at that person because it was just not fair. Ok, it was along time ago and I know how people say 'time heals all wounds' but if we do not confess our sins(James 5:16....I'm so thankful for biblegateway.com) we cannot be healed. It starts with that little desire to get free of that hurt. It's not yours to bear. I encourage you to make it a priority to shovel off every little bitty, medium, and large thing that gets in between you and God. My desire is that He would speak to me and it's hard to hear when you have a bunch of build up in your ears...I know gross. It is your choice, let it go and start that transformation of those relationships being healed and rebuilt by Him. Because He wants you to be set free!
