It Had to Happen

So often we look at things that have happened in our lives and want to cry and bemoan our fate. We find ourselves playing the victim because life was unfair to us and we were hurt and our emotions battered and bruised. We lost people, things, money, and hope. But I came to let you know that everything that happened in your life HAD to happen. It had to happen to position you to be where you are for where you are going! It had to happen for you to become who you are on the way to who you are becoming. It simply HAD to happen!

How liberating to know that you don't have to be in bondage to your past. You don't have to hold on to anger and resentment because of the things that have been done to you by others or the things you have done to others. You can forgive them and forgive yourself. You can release the burden that comes with anger, hatred, bitterness, and unforgiveness. You can CHOOSE to release the things that have been holding you down and holding you back from moving forward into your destiny.

This revelation freed me up to release some things that I said I had let go of but in actuality was still holding on to. I had to finally forgive every person who had hurt me in relationships, my parents for their flaws, myself for my choices and my flaws, and God for not doing it the way I wanted HIM to do it. I had to ask forgiveness from some people for having bitterness in my heart towards them regardless of what they had done to me. I had to be the example of truly accepting that it had to happen.

Today, I feel freer, more at ease, more at peace, and more relaxed. The invisible weight that was weighing me  down is gone. It is now my job to make sure that it stays gone by forgiving people quickly so that no root of bitterness has time to set up in my heart. True liberty and liberation comes with forgiveness. Today choose to be free and forgive those who have hurt you because the reality is that holding on to the hurt only hurts you. Remember it had to happen!!!!
