Forgiveness
Forgiveness …
Forgiveness keeps pressing on my Heart. To fully embrace the gift of forgiveness, you need to be able to forgive but also be forgiven. Have you forgiven yourself? Can you forgive yourself? It’s so important that forgiveness works both outward and inward. Everyone has made mistakes including big ones where it seems it would be impossible to walk forward in all you are called to do but that is where grace comes in. Do you know that when your Heart cries out in remorse of the mistakes you’ve made with a deep desire for change that as soon as you ask God to forgive you, He does? It’s all about the Heart and God knows your Heart. If you’ve been having a hard time forgiving someone take a moment to ask yourself if you believe God has forgiven you for all you’ve done wrong. When He examines your Heart at night does He find a Heart truly regretful for past mistakes and never wanting to make them again? If so then simply ask, “God will you please forgive me? I am sorry for what I’ve done.” Once you Believe God has forgiven you then work on you forgiving you. Set things right, clean up the dirt you swept under the rug before it comes to life to rob you of Peace, Joy and Love. Your Heart must speak the Words of regret before your lips utter a sound then God hears you because He speaks the language of the Heart.
When the Heart speaks “I regret”, then God says “I forget”.Don’t let the world keep reminding you of the things God has already forgiven you for. It’s time to seek, give and receive forgiveness. Forgiveness is a precious gift for all Hearts involved.
Many Blessings to you, with MUCH Love!!! :)

The Good Food …
I saw a vision of someone whose hands were full with two grocery bags but instead of being filled with good food (fruits, vegetables, etc.), they contained big packages marked bitterness, revenge, and anger. Their Heart cried out for Love but no one could get close enough to hug them or to Love them because the bags were in the way. They would have to put the bags down to get what their Heart was desiring but they didn’t want to put them down. It was as if the bags were their most prized possession. Have you ever walked in your house with an arm full of groceries and were so thankful that someone was there to take them out of your arms and help? They would not be able to help you unless you were willing to hand them the bags. One Word will help you to put down those bags … forgiveness. Whether it is forgiving God for the hand you feel you’ve been dealt, forgiving yourself for the mistakes you have made or forgiving someone who has wronged you. Forgiveness will ensure you don’t purchase those items in the first place.
We pay a price for our life lessons but what exactly are we buying? Do we walk away with boxes of anger, hate, and unforgiveness or do we go to the shelf and get a box of thankfulness for what we do have, a box of forgiveness that will help us forgive others and forgive ourselves, or a gallon of Love that we drink a minimum of 8 glasses a day to bring us Life? It is our choice what we buy, no one else can make that choice for us. It’s time to buy the groceries that require no money and load up our grocery bags with good food, things that will bring us nourishment and Life. What are you buying?
Many Blessings to you, with MUCH Love!!! :)

RIP Dust Balls …
You’ve made some mistakes, what you do with those mistakes is what builds character.
We walk our journey to learn and along that journey mistakes are made (on both sides of the table – meaning some times we make mistakes, some times others). These mistakes are used to teach us. How we handle them is critical to our spiritual growth. If we focus on the mistake (whether it is by us or someone else) then suddenly we are frozen and not able to move forward. Mistakes are not meant to halt your spiritual growth but to excel you forward. Stop looking at the mistakes! If you’ve made a mistake then make it right, do not try to brush it under the rug thinking it will go away because that dust will rise. What I mean is the dust doesn’t stay under that rug, instead it turns into a dust ball you’ve given life to because now it bounces out (always seemingly at a time of joy) to remind you that you didn’t deal with it. Pretty soon you see it so much you end up naming the thing. Let the dust be dust and the only way to do that is to deal with it – don’t let it rob your peace any more! Deal with those mistakes … from your Heart set out to make it right, ask forgiveness (both of the person(s) it impacted and God), and then learn from it by making up your mind that you are not going to do it again asking God for help. It’s time to clean out the cobwebs and sweep out the dust. A Life of Peace is planned for you.
Many Blessings to you, with MUCH Love!!! :)

Love Freely …
What I hope for you this day is to Love freely without hesitation. It isn’t easy to lay down the hurts and rejections that have happened to us in life but if we carry them around, they can keep us from wanting to Love at all. We soon find ourselves loving only when we think we’ll get love back. Or if life has hurt us enough times, those hurts and hesitations try to close our hearts off completely. But when we find the strength to release those hurts, we realize the true meaning of being all we were made to be. We Love because we are Love …don’t let the world rob you of that beautiful precious gift.
All the Love you desire is held within your own heart so don’t hold back – give freely of that gift as God has done for you – then you will see how all of that Love returns to you. The key is multiplying the Love He has made you to be, don’t bury it in the ground giving back what the Master has given you – multiply it!
Many Blessings to you, with MUCH Love!!! :)
