Heartbreaks WILL be healed. JOY WILL be restored and HOPE WILL be found. In Jesus Name. Amen!!!!!! Keep God First…….

If you’re going to fulfill your destiny, you have to get good at letting things go.
Jesus said offenses will come.
He didn’t say they might come if you’re a good person, if you’re nice, nobody will do you wrong.
He said, disappointments will come. Betrayals, things that are not fair will come.
How you deal with these offenses, how you handle the hurts will determine whether you move forward and see the new things God has in store or whether you get stuck bitter over what didn’t work out.
I’ve heard it said if you don’t heal from emotional wounds, you will bleed on people that had nothing to do with it.
How many people are living wounded over how they were raised, a friend that walked away, business partner that cheated them instead of letting it go, they replay it in their mind.
We live all the hurt and they wonder why they don’t have good relationships. It’s because they haven’t healed.
They’re living out of a wounded place.
God brings a new person, somebody great, but they’re so insecure, they don’t feel valuable attractive.
This new person has to keep them fixed, go overboard to make sure they know how great they are.
The problem is that’s not sustainable until you get, well, until you let go of what didn’t work out, not carry the hurt that wound is going to hinder you.
Wherever you go. If you’re still wounded over a position you lost, you’ll go to that new company defensive on edge, not friendly.
You’re treating them based on what you’ve been through, but they had nothing to do with it.
It’s much more freeing when you learn to let things go. It wasn’t fair. That’s ok.
God will be your vindicator. He’ll take care of who did you wrong.
It’s not your job to pay people back.
They hurt you once, don’t let them continue to hurt you by holding on to it.
You lost a loved one.
I know that’s painful and it’s ok to go through a season of mourning, but you can’t hold on to the hurt.
Living in mourning is going to keep the new doors from opening.
You have to heal so you can see the new relationships, the new opportunities in the scripture.
Peter asked Jesus how often he should forgive someone that did him wrong.
It’s funny because Peter was known to be offensive. He’s the one that cursed out.
The young lady when Jesus was arrested, he cut off a soldier’s ear defending Jesus.
He said, Jesus, should I forgive them? Seven times? The Jewish law said three times, he more than doubled it.
He thought Jesus, I’m growing, I’m come a long way.
Jesus said Peter seven is good, but I want you to forgive them 70 times seven.
It wasn’t really about the number Jesus was showing us a principle.
He was saying I want you to live in a continual process of forgiveness, not something you do every once in a while, but on a daily basis, forgiveness should be a part of our life.
He was setting a system in place so we wouldn’t hold on to the hurts, offenses, disappointments.
He knew that practically every day we would have these opportunities.
The quicker you let things go, the easier it is. In the Lord’s prayer. Jesus told us to pray.
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us, our trespasses as we forgive others.
He was saying every day, we should be ready to forgive doesn’t have to be big things that man that cut you off in traffic, let it go.
Don’t let that sour your day. Your time is valuable.
That’s a distraction trying to get you off course, offended over something that doesn’t matter.
That clerk that’s rude to you at the grocery store, just smile and move on.
I’ve learned life is full of wounded people.
People that haven’t dealt with the negative things in their past at times, they’ll be disrespectful, they’ll say things they shouldn’t do things that are hurtful.
You can’t stop the offense from coming, but you can keep it from getting down in you.
How much time are you spending offended, bitter holding a grudge.
How much more could you accomplish if you would start letting things go?
How much better relationships would you have if you would get emotionally healthy, if you would let go of what people said, forgive the person that did you wrong.
Quit reliving the hurt. Thanks so much for watching today.
