5. Poison myself
or… forgive?
O Lord Jesus,
I realise that by not forgiving
I am drinking poison thinking that
It’s my tormentor
Who’s going to die from it!
Today…
Today, being aware that
You Lord have forgiven me for so much,
I decide to forgive.
Because by choosing to forgive
I free myself from a prison
In which I had imprisoned myself.
Thank you, Lord,
For your forgiveness
Towards me.
In turn, I forgive
Those who have hurt me.
In this way, I free myself from my chains.
What a liberation! What inner peace!
THANK YOU, Lord Jesus!
God is on your side! Have a great day!
Forgiveness happens in your heart.
It can be a process…
BUT be careful!
Forgiving does NOT mean:
- Minimising the facts
- Condoning the wrong that was done to you
- Accepting the recurrence of things that caused you pain
- Being in denial of what was done to you
- Pretending that nothing happened
- Convincing yourself that it’s not that bad
- Forgetting
- Resuming the relationship despite its toxicity
- Not reporting abuse.
Forgiveness is a decision of the HEART
Which frees you
From the one who has hurt you.
What if you’ve been the victim of a crime?
The victim is never responsible. Their outfit, behaviour, etc. never give someone permission to abuse them.
If you have suffered abuse, it may be necessary for it to be recognised, judged and condemned by a court of law. However, bear in mind that it could take years for a complaint to be filed, an investigation to be carried out and the case to be brought before the court, before the crime is recognised, judged and condemned. This takes a lot of energy from the victim.
And if the abuse took place during their childhood… The damage suffered during childhood is deep, heavy and serious. It destroys the person and their identity…
And if the crime took place in a family setting, the person who filed the complaint may be ostracized from the family, and even have family members ganging up on them… This could lead to even more tribulation … They need to be supported in their efforts and surrounded by people they can trust…
At the same time, the victim needs help from a professional moving forward in their heart.
The stance of a victim is not
what God wants for your life.
God wants you to live, not survive!
Forgiveness brings inner peace.
To go further…
