What do you do when...

when...
*you have spent countless hours trying to understand the why in a painful relationship AND more often, you find yourself picking at the wound?
*you have spent just as many hours asking God to soften your heart and desire healing from this pain?
*you pray for this person daily?
*you think of this person, you feel confused, borderlining on bitterness and resentment and crying out to God to stop those feelings?
*you tried to explain your hurt in the past, you were laughed at?
and then...
...this person out of the blue, asks some hard questions, listens to your feelings and then not only hugs you but asks for forgiveness?
This is what you prayed for.
This was your hearts desire all along.
Now, forgiveness has happened, when you had least expected it.
You forgave.
You hug.
You desire wholeness again.
You go to the throne of GRACE and celebrate such an answer to prayer.
You continue to pray for this person and ask God to continue to allow healing continue and revel in His goondess...
But you have to switch gears. You have a thankful heart now.
You can rejoice again.
You begin noticing the wound doesn't hurt and that's because you've stop picking at it. You cling on to Him even more because I now realize how powerful God really is!!!
Praise the Lord!
