As I was picking up the house this morning I felt the Holy Spirit tell me that I needed to get a card and drop it off to the Dr. at Urgent Care. (See yesterday’s post) My guards instantly went up and I thought there is no way. all I could picture was his face telling me to “LEAVE NOW!!!” I thought I had forgiven him and it was all over and I would never have to go back there anyway. UGH Will I ever learn?? I still had a little bitterness in my heart that I needed to let go of so I told God fine I will have Joe get a card and drop it off. God said NO you will go get a card and write a kind note in it directly from your heart then you will take it there all by yourself!! Talk about scared and embarrassed. So I asked God to free me from all bitterness toward him and then this song by Mathew West came on Pandora “Forgiveness”<\/b><\/p>\n

“It\u2019s the hardest thing to give away
\nAnd the last thing on your mind today
\nIt always goes to those that don\u2019t deserve<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the opposite of how you feel
\nWhen the pain they caused is just too real
\nIt takes everything you have just to say the word\u2026<\/p>\n

Forgiveness
\nForgiveness<\/p>\n

It flies in the face of all your pride
\nIt moves away the mad inside
\nIt\u2019s always anger\u2019s own worst enemy
\nEven when the jury and the judge
\nSay you gotta right to hold a grudge
\nIt\u2019s the whisper in your ear saying \u2018Set It Free\u2019<\/p>\n

Forgiveness, Forgiveness
\nForgiveness, Forgiveness<\/p>\n

Show me how to love the unlovable
\nShow me how to reach the unreachable
\nHelp me now to do the impossible<\/p>\n

Forgiveness, Forgiveness<\/p>\n

Help me now to do the impossible
\nForgiveness<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll clear the bitterness away
\nIt can even set a prisoner free
\nThere is no end to what it\u2019s power can do
\nSo, let it go and be amazed
\nBy what you see through eyes of grace
\nThe prisoner that it really frees is you<\/p>\n

Forgiveness, Forgiveness
\nForgiveness, Forgiveness<\/p>\n

Show me how to love the unlovable
\nShow me how to reach the unreachable
\nHelp me now to do the impossible
\nForgiveness<\/p>\n

I want to finally set it free
\nSo show me how to see what Your mercy sees
\nHelp me now to give what You gave to me
\nForgiveness, Forgiveness”<\/p><\/div>\n

I INSTANTLY felt better!! ALL the symptoms of my kidney infection went away and felt AMAZING again!!! I was so happy to go get him a card and I thanked him for giving me a second chance and for helping me feel better. Because HE DID!!! When he came back in that room yesterday he was SO KIND AND COMPASSIONATE. I may never know if he got the card or if he even read it but I know that I feel FREE from bitterness!! He was allowed to have a bad day. I don’t believe it ever really had anything to do with me anyway. He admitted he was in a hurry the first time and I just don’t think we were understanding each other. I am so glad I went back and got the help I needed for my kidney infection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
