I woke early this morning due to a
most specific, detailed, graphic, and horrific dream. It was a dream that I
have had before yet more vivid, more destructive, more painful, more -
EVERYTHING.
You see, a while ago I was injured deeply by someone and though forgiveness has been given and restoration made...it still affects my dreams at times. Yes, I pray, but the ripple effects of the situation are so devastating in my dreams. I wake so hurt and wounded all over again. YET, I know I have forgiven and the person's heart and lifestyle has truly changed and they are not hurting me any longer.
I realize I have shared deepness within me with you today. I share this not to remind the person who injured me but to remind all of us that our choices not only affect ourselves but the lives of the people who are in our lives. You see, I too, have been one who has deeply injured others and have needed their forgiveness, trust and love. To forgive, walk in forgiveness and live a lifestyle of forgiveness and not a doormat are choices that minister to our very souls.
I awoke, wept, and prayed. As I continued to pray, the old hymn ‘Near to the Heart of God’ came to me. That is my sole desire, to be so near to His heart that I am in a quiet rest, a place where sin cannot molest or thoughts control me any longer. I am so thankful I have an arsenal of music, hymns and more, Holy Spirit uses to wash over me in times when deep sorrow wants to rest upon, in and through my heart.
Forgiveness is a gift we give to others and ourselves. I do not know that I will ever 'forget' the injury. I do not dwell on it any longer. It's a done deal in my heart, it's forgiven and I am walking in love in every aspect (thoughts, words, and deeds) of my life towards this person.
For those I have injured I pray the Lord brings music to help the healing in your heart when any ripple effects from what I have done come to you in any form. I pray the Lord would bring you peace and rest as you draw upon Him as Your strength.
There really is a place of full release, near to the heart of God
A place where all is joy and peace, near to the heart of God
Oh Jesus blest Redeemer
Sent from the heart of God
Hold us who wait before Thee
Near to the heart of God.

"...But forget
all that - it is nothing compared to what I am going to do.
For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not
see it?" says the Lord.
Isaiah 43:18-19 NLT
