My chest was hurting so much, I felt like it would burst with pain, not sickness kinda pain but heartache kinda pain. It was so much I couldn’t sleep. I tossed and turned most of the night. How could I even sleep with that slicing pain? It was just Impossible.
I got tired of the the pain, knowing that if I didn’t find a solution, it could damage my relationship with the person responsible for my sleeplessness which I didn’t want.
Some relationships are worth saving while others are not. May Wisdom guide you to know which relationships you have to let go of and the ones to hold on to, Amen.
So I turned to the only person who I knew could help me.
As I opened my mouth to relay what was causing me so much pain, pain caused by someone very dear to to my heart, I heard:
“Forgive”.
I had barely started to report to God fa. Just when I uttered:
“Dear Father, this person…,” I heard it loud and clear:
“Forgive”
Huh? Forgive? I was contemplating discussing with this person and airing my grievances but, I heard the voice clearly, “Forgive!”, then the song “Forgive” by my dearest Chiké began to play in my head. while I prayed fa. Ha!
It kept ringing:
“Just forgive, forgive, just forgive.”
Hmmmm! I sighed, a very deep and long one and said:
“Okay! I forgive!!”
The moment I spoke those words, every heartache, every feeling of disappointment, every feeling of betrayal, every negative emotion I was experiencing disappeared, just like that. Suddenly, like a vapour, it fizzled out. I was fine, as in very fine.
From that moment to date, I’m taking months,, my heart has been light, there’s no more hurt, there’s no more bitterness there’s no more anger. Do I still feel the need to speak with the person? I don’t think so, I don’t feel the need to because, everything has passed and I have moved on from that phase forever. Will the person do it again?
Maybe.
But I won’t be tossing and turning as I know the solution, ‘Forgive’
Forgive because it is possible for someone to hurt you without knowing. Even if they know, Forgive!
No matter what, Forgive!
For your own sake, Forgive!
Don’t end the year bearing grudges, hurting or in pain because of someone’s action or inaction.
Forgive..
Let it all go.
Start the new year on a clean slate.
Peace.
Happy New Year!
2024 will be beautiful.
All you desire will come to pass, in Jesus name, Amen!
