His Heart Scribe Inspirations --May/June 2014
shows you something, it is THEN
that you are responsible for it. Now
at this point in time, after today's
revelation, if I were to dig my heals
in and say, I just cannot forgive
them, then God would not be happy
about that. You see, I was in fact experiencing the effects of forgiveness
to a degree, but I was still not being
held accountable for it by God.
Therein lies the difference between
someone who doesn't want to forgive, and someone who is in the process. Sometimes people just don't
know and maybe it is not Gods time
for them to know yet. They perhaps
need to dig a little deeper and find
out why they are this flat, no faith,
powerless, and no inspiration (like I
(Continued from page -37)
have a lot to deal with.
...Yes folks, we need to have time to
process this stuff, spiritually, along
with mentally and emotionally. This
is where some people get it wrong.
They want to deal with stuff right
away, they don't allow themselves
time for emotional healing, realizing that it is all part of a process. In
order to progress we need time to
heal and time to get our head
around stuff. So this morning I realized that I had been on a forgiveness
"journey" with this person - it had
taken a while. It took a while for me
to even see that this was the reason
that I was experiencing a real flat
spot in my faith. For the life of me, I
couldn't understand why. But now I
have gained some valuable insight
on this. When God knows we are
ready to deal with something, it will
be revealed. We might have to live
with some not so nice residue and a
few weeks of knowing something is
not right, and be content to sit tight
with no answers as to why we are
uncomfortable. Sometimes we are
in this place because we need to be.
Why? Because we need to process
all that has happened to us. And it
takes time.
...Some ministers like to make people feel bad because they are not
moving along as quickly as they
should be. However if we are truly
discerning, sometimes it is just that
- people need time to get their head
around stuff. But you know, THEN,
once the light goes on and God
did, no inspiration to write and it
was really bugging me lol). As I
sought God for answers and waited
on Him for them, eventually when
He knew I was ready to progress, I
was then able to process my feelings
and situation.
...So, to sum up, what I am saying is
this: don't be too hard on yourself.
Sometimes we just need to be patient, as we keep seeing God for the
answers, if we are sincere they will
truly come, and yes, even if it is with
something as serious as unforgiveness. Why? Because God knows
our hearts. And for those who get to
this point of revelation, and dig
their heals in and ignore it? Well,
now you are responsible for your attitude and heart concerning your
unforgiveness. I hope this helps
someone!
