Our Past May Hit Us Several Times A Day, But Keep Looking Toward The Blessing We Have

Our Past May Hit Us Several Times A Day,  Keep Looking Toward The Blessing We Have

The deep wounds that were left on us take much time to heal.  One of the hardest steps is to forgive those who abused us,  bullied us,  or molested us.   From these things,  we carry much pain inside that must be released.  We have to work out forgiveness to those who wronged us.

The memories of our past hit us several times a day, but we cannot dwell on them, they will only hurt us more.   Keep looking forward.  If you have forgiven your abusers, remind yourself of that.  If you were able to change a life because of the abuse you went through,  remind yourself of that.  Changing people's lives is a blessing. 

You may not be the same person you were before you were abused, but you are a better person.  Remind yourself of that.  You may not know it, but you are a blessing to people.  Remind yourself of that. 

When you are reminded of your past, remind yourself that it has been nailed on the cross,  remind yourself that you forgave the abusers,  and remind yourself how many lives are blessed because of you.

God bless,
