We grow weary by holding on to old baggage! Old baggage is our past issues, past hurt, past pain, past words said by others whom we in turn give lip service to, by saying “I forgive you,” yet we still hold on to the memory of the thing because we are scarred! The problem with forgiveness intertwined with lip service is that it’s superficial. You didn’t really mean it, you just said it to save face.
If you truly want to forgive, “TALK ABOUT IT & MOVE ON!” After Jacob & his brother met face to face, their past issue was forgotten! Never to arise and trouble them any longer! Why? Because they reasoned with each other and came into agreement concerning the past, the present, and the future. In other words imagine them saying, “OK, that was the past, I was wrong. Please forgive me. How do we move forward from here?”
Let us all learn and value this lesson from Jacob and Esau. STOP holding on to things, JUST LET IT GO! God will not heal what you won’t reveal, and He wants to heal you emotionally. So let the Holy Spirit teach you to TALK ABOUT IT AND MOVE ON!
BE FREE! Today, I declare and decree that I am releasing all and any ought that I hold against any of the Lords children. Lord today I am your canvas upon which a picture of emotional freedom may be painted, in Jesus Name AMEN.
“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” Isaiah 1:18 KJV
