For the past couple weeks I had been battling through past memories of failures and hurts being brought back to my remembrance. After speaking over my thoughts and continuously praying and fasting to receive a release from it, I received revelation of where this was all coming from. I still held grudges against many of those who ever hurt me. I was shocked when I accepted the reality of what I had unknowingly done to myself. Immediately, I repented and asked the Lord to help soften my heart towards them. He gave me this verse to meditate on:
Romans 15:7 “Therefore receive one another, just as Christ received us, to the glory of God.” Why would I hold a grudge against something that happened years ago? Or even towards someone that I haven’t even met? Christ forgave them. Jealousy, pride, ignorance, selfishness…all these worldly customs began racing through my mind; all these traits in which I’m not even called to be a part of, I was walking in them. This is my breakthrough. My desire is to forgive and love those that ever hurt me, intentionally or unintentionally. The past is the past, today is a clean slate. His mercies renew every morning, praise the Lord!
