Forgiveness

When I give my testimony of how I went through brokenness, then surrendered my life to God. Many people ask me if I forgave Michael Hayes for what he did to me. Well part of surrender is forgiveness. I had to let go of the hatred in my heart in order to let Jesus in! Another bondage was the grief I had to let go of as well. You see Psalms 51:16-17 says:

"For You do not delight in sacrifices, otherwise I would give it; You are not pleased with burnt offerings. The sacrifice pleasing to God is a broken spirit; A broken and humbled heart, O God, You will not despise".

God desires us to be broken. Because only then can we truly surrender all of ourselves to him. Most people think humbleness means gentle, lowly, or modest. That's not what humble is. Look at 1 Peter 5:6-7 and see what Humble really is:

"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your cares upon him; for he cares for you".

Did you see that? To humble yourself means to cast all your cares over on him... That is what I did at my surrender, I gave every care I had; my dreams, my family, grief, post traumatic stress disorder, hatred toward Michael Hayes & most importantly my life. What are your thoughts on forgiveness? Do you have a testimony as well? Or do you need help letting go? The blog is open, let us know your thoughts.
