Never Again
Spend any time living on this Earth and you’ll find out real quick that this world can be a nasty place. Never mind all the insanity we hear about happening in the lives of others. Most of us have gotten a taste of it for ourselves. Unfortunately, the hardest part about getting a taste for yourself is getting that bad rancid taste out of your mouth that can last for years later.
Plenty of people are walking around today with a bad taste in their mouths, and I ain’t taking about halitosis. I’m talking about not being able to shake what someone has done to you. You know how it is when someone does something so malicious that the pain of the event becomes a permanent resident in your heart that pays no rent, yet refuses to be evicted. It’s not a loud tenant. In fact, a lot of people don’t even know that it’s there, but you know because it has totally rearranged the way you manage the affairs of your life.
The way you see it, you will never again trust someone in the way that you trusted the person or persons that betrayed you. You will never be the victim again. As a matter of fact, you’ll make someone else pay for what the others did, before you even come close to experiencing that hurt again. You were the victim once, but you FA SHO won’t be the victim again.
Whether you realize it or not, if that is your attitude about what has happened to you, then you are still a victim. You see, when pain invades the home of your heart, he does not come alone, he rolls tough with unforgiveness. You have to tell them both that they can’t stay.
I know them both, and neither of them will bother to lock the doors or close the windows of your heart. Your heart will become a den of thieves, emotions, thoughts, and desires that rob you of your peace, hope, happiness, sensitivity, expectation, love, future, faith, etc. In essence, you will lose yourself.
The Word warns us about this in Hebrews 12:14-15. It says, “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause (you) trouble, and by this many become defiled;”
When we don’t let go of the hurts from betrayals, disappointments, and abuses, it plants a seeds into our hearts. The seeds are of bitterness, and that seed will grow to trouble us by choking life from the most valuable branches of our existence. Unforgiveness’ only victim is the person that is not willing to forgive.
Clear the weeds from your hearts, today! Jesus is here to help. (Click Here)
