The Father says today, purpose to live your life by the cadence of forgive-release-and-bless. Say it to yourself as you walk through your day: “I forgive. I release. I bless” and then add the names of all those people who have hurt you or frustrated you. As the names and faces, even of people who are long dead come up before you, go ahead and forgive them. Go ahead and release them. You don’t need some violent, emotional catharsis to find the freedom that simple prayer will bring to you. You don’t have to put yourself through some medieval ritual to break off the weight and the sin of resentment that has held you back for so long.
I am not willing for you to live another day without the freedom of full and complete forgiveness against those who have harmed you. Yes, they were wrong. No, they will never see it. It doesn’t matter what they think or what they do. What matters is that you choose to walk out from under the heavens of brass that are the ceiling barring the prayers of those who refuse to forgive. Be free this day. Free yourself from the snare of the enemy because of the hurts of the past. Don’t spend another day grinding at the mill of bitterness or unforgiveness. You will not like the bread of that idleness or what it brings into your life. I have something better for you as you learn to release yourself by releasing others.
