Tucked

Hello my friend,
Yesterday I was pondering on my past. I could not help to think about all of the mistakes I have made in my life, and how God turned what was meant for evil into good. I thought about the time when I ask God to put forgiveness in my heart for someone that wronged me. I was terribly distraught and extremely miserable.For years I was like in a prison spiritually, in a form of bondage. Many people watched me become an angry person. The agony?.. I did not really know how to forgive. What is forgiveness? I asked... There were many nights I prayed to God for him to take the pain away. Some nights I would cry myself to sleep. I was hurting, I was stuck. Then one day I was awakened to see myself from a different angle. But I learned quickly it would take courage to sucessfully do this. This meant looking at the whole perpective of what took place from both angles.When viewing from that whole new angle... I began to view certain areas about me that was inperfect. I began to see the errors that were being made, the disobedience, and the distractions that was interfering with my place, position, posture, and my purpose.
Wisdom was saying...
Until I began to see my errors and be held accountable, in that situation. (no matter how big or small ...insignificant. Inspite of my motive .... this had to be placed before me to look at the full picture for divine truth and understanding) Even Sara made and an error with Abraham. She loved him so much she allowed him to have a baby by another women but was held accountable later.
Until I began to understand the pain that this person was going through, and began to have compassion for their humility. Until I realized that it was him and not them. (Ephesians 6:10-18 )
I was not going to be released a healing in my heart so I could be set free.
Many times we go through out life holding so much resentment in our hearts stored for years. (hidden anger) We fail to surrender the pain because we dont know what to do with it.
So we tuck our feelings, and hide behind God with a church face...hiding from the religious Pharisee, and Loveless Mentality.
We tuck our feelings, and hide behind elements of the flesh. (sex, drugs, alcohol etc)
We tuck our feelings, and hide behind our pride. (poor /foolish decision making)
We tuck our feelings, and hide behind a hamburger. (comfort eating)
Resulting in being an oversized dressed up, saved, tucked mess in denial.
Failing to realize that we become what we hate. Our blessings become blocked.
Pride then takes on the driver seat of your decision making.
This is why it is so important to be honest with our self first and embrace the truth even if it hurts.
In other words when I saw my ugly, my errors ( no matter how big or small it may appeared), through ignorance, disobedience, and distraction.
Humbly so...I began to see that it happens to the best of us...I was able to forgive this person humbly even in their offenses against me.
Because I was able to understand the root cause of their pain, and why their actions did not line up to their motives. Also how the hidden tricks from the enemy was easily eraticated because of the door that was unsecured.
There is oil to get from your pain, and that oil is wisdom.
Do you forgive?
Blessings!
