Sisterfriends,
As I was reading over the weekend, Interestingly enough all the topics ended with the same underlying conclusion. Living in past pains. It opened my eyes to how much time wasted and opportunities are missed. Life is stagnated, dreams are paralyzed and visions get appointed elsewhere. In past letters, I’ve espoused on forgiveness and its healing nature. I do believe forgiveness is a key component to moving past the pain but what about getting to forgiveness?!
In many conversations with sisterfriends, the discussion has always come full circle to prayer. Talking to God. We’ve discussed the power of release in these normal, no pretense conversations with God, just as we do amongst each other. Expressing anger, disappointments, joy, fears, whether laced with profanities, anxieties or pure bliss. Prayer is a product of Grace. I know some will read this and be in utter disdain, quick to say but you can’t talk to God any ole kind of way! you must have reverence! Trust! God already knows EXACTLY how you feel and the EXACT words you want you’re using in your heart. He’s just waiting for you to be real. Grace welcomes and encourages an open dialogue with Him. “Come as you are” for real for real! Grace has also provided a higher path of communication with God, the gift of tongues, the ability to pray in an unknown language to you but highly effective in your transmission.
Listen, whether you are seeking guided therapy or thugging it out with God, it puts us on the path to forgiveness. Don’t allow yourself to be continually robbed of all the good feels waiting for you to move out, move on, serve eviction notices, Let go!
