Let go of the wounds

“As for us, we have all of these great witnesses who encircle us like clouds. So we must let go of every wound that has pierced us and the sin we so easily fall into. Then we will be able to run life’s marathon race with passion and determination, for the path has been already marked out before us.”Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬ ‭TPT‬‬

People wound us, and we wound people. The important thing is we forgive and are forgiven. If we say the Lord’s Prayer we cover both. ‘Forgive us our sins as we forgive others their sins’.

I’ve returned from a blissful weekend away with a girlfriend who is similar in many ways. The Lord blessed us both. We both returned to a life that can create conflict. However, for both of us forgiveness must be first as is prayer for those who wound us.

Wounds can come unexpected but they come through things others say and so, that is life. May we always be prepared to love and forgive. Amen!
