It's for something BIGGER

“But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.” Genesis 50:20 NKJV

One of the most important things we should strive to preserve in our lives is to forgive quickly, forget and move on. Easier said than done, but NOT if we truly abide in HIM and in His unconditional love. 

If you can't let go and let God, if you can't forgive, I highly doubt you genuinely love {you can say it from the mouth out, but GOD sees your heart}. 

God has promised that He will make what was intended for evil, into something that will glorify Him through you. I don't know about you, but am holding Him to that, and while I wait, I chose forgiveness, and I chose love. 

During these past weeks of fasting and prayer, and seeking and waiting, I found myself truly searching my heart. I repented for the things God began to reveal that had been harboring inside of me because of things I felt done unjustly.  

And as I began to confess and repent, I found myself wanting more than anything else to be truly forgiven, that I may not only receive the love to genuinely love those who have wronged us, but to be honest with myself enough to know I can easily harbor cruel intentions. 

I asked God to purge the things that are ducked way inside that even I can't see, because it's not revenge I am after, but the reward of persisting in what is good and what is right, in His eyes, so that while I am honest with him about what He already knows I have inside, He will show me why I had to go through this or that, and how HE allowed it because it served a greater purpose! 

If you're going through injustice, betrayal, the end of a relationship or a season in your life, where someone had the upper hand on you, know that you're not alone. Surrender to God all those feelings that take away from you being able to receive,  and expose them so that you too can be forgiven. Then you will be at peace, and He can turn it around. 

"They" were looking out for themselves, without knowing it could hurt you BUT GOD, has NEVER taken His hand off of you; and even through the roughest patches, through the deepest pain, He can create something beautiful. He is The One who makes ALL things NEW! 

Welcome to your NEW! New season, New YOU! You have never been here, and it has never happened because all that you went through, was so that this very NEW could be for YOU! {And me ;)}
