EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
One of the most disheartening things we can feel is when someone betrays us, especially ones so very close to us.  There is no way to justify gossip, lies, slander, or hurtful division. It just stinks!
God will set things in order. He promises.
“All who rage against you will be ashamed and disgraced. All who contend with you will perish and disappear.” (Isaiah 41:11)
Please release the person or people who have wounded you so deeply. I understand this is not always easy, but please do not harbor bitterness or resentment toward the offending party.  Something has their soul shackled; please realize this!
Just imagine…you could be the one who prays for them and asks God to set them free.
Ask God to build the POWER in you to release your pain and show them love. I’m not asking you to do anything I have not done myself. God sees me through my pain. I know your heart will feel better, as mine always does. It’s something we may have to repeat several times to really solidify what you are actually doing, but trust that it will be done, in Jesus’ name!
Freedom from such pain will not only set a person free with your prayers; it will set you free! As tears roll down my face writing, I often times understand it’s because of a “word” that God gives to me which hits so very close to home, but I can rejoice in its “freedom,” praise God!  My heart is grateful for the truths I’ve learned over the years, and now I can only be transparent as God leads, in the hopes of encouraging you while I’m writing, praying, and using what God has taught me. He continues teaching me as I grow closer to Him. May we all be in this special place, close to the heart of God!❤️
