In Christ, we’ve been shown mercy when mercy should have failed.  We’ve been shown grace, when none should have been offered.  We’ve been loved when love……….but that’s just it.  We’ve been shown Love.  Real love, not just the type that we write about in a romance novel, or slap on the side of a product.  I speak of real love, the type that alters lives. 

The more my life becomes healed of the hurts, the more I become so occultly aware of the Love that Jesus is offering us.  My mind’s eye isn’t as focused on all that has failed me, but more rather captivated by the Love the Lord is offering.

We overcome evil with good.  With the love that we are being offered from Jesus Christ, we are living this statement first hand. You can’t alter the past, you can only press forward to make sure that the future is not effected by them.  In Christ, this is possible.  His love can fill in holes that have been left by the pains we’ve suffered.  It doesn’t mean that you forget what’s taken place.  You don’t. What one of us forgets painful abuses, abandonment, betrayals…? More rather, you find that His love starts to mean more to you than holding on to the hurt does.
This healing that I speak of is possible for all of us.  It takes time.  But the Lord Jesus is a patient healer.  He knows the difficulties you face when you trying to allow painful events to pass on. It is He that already extended the offer of healing to you.  He’s willing to take His time with you. Please, trust that there is more to life than having to walk around with the weight of a painful past upon your shoulders.  I pray blessings on your life.  Pastor Daniella https://Twitter.com/PastorDaniella
