I have had this word in my mind for a couple weeks already. I have searched within my soul to really understand why God has been bugging me with it. So I think I found out why.
Sometimes we go around dragging extra luggage, or burdens. Things that are not necessary to carry around that we forget that are still there. But suddenly out of no where we slow down and feel a little less energy than usual or we stop because we feel a tug in our heart and in our soul. All of a sudden we realize the burden is there. When we get in the rhythm of things we forget we are still hanging on to them. Until a bump on the road or a voice from above reminds us that we are hanging on to them.
I believe God has put this word forgiveness, in my heart because I need to ask for it. I need to put it out there in the universe. I need to put out a request for forgiveness for things I have done or said with or without intending to do it but that in the process hurt someone or perhaps caused a bump on their road. It is so difficult to admit wrong doing sometimes. Our ego and stubbornness take over and we continue on our journey pretending that it will go away, or that it never happened.
I speak for myself, but I know that I am not the only one that at some point has done something they know they need to say sorry for. Or something said that they would love to take back. Or perhaps even something never said that would have made a difference.
Forgiving others, asking for forgiveness and forgiving ourselves is liberating. It means no more baggage, no more selfishness or stubbornness. God forgives us everyday for the silly things and crazy things we do. And why should we not do the same? Forgiveness is a principle that free us from ourselves.
I am sorry. I am sorry for the pain I have caused you and for everything that I have done. For those things that where intentional for the ones that where not.
I release only love to you.
Your friend,
Ivis
