Remember that song.....Walking on Sunshine? Although it's probably more of a love story song, I just have that one line stuck in my head.... "and don't it feel good?"
"I'm walking on sunshine , wooah
I'm walking on sunshine, woooah
I'm walking on sunshine, woooah
and don't it feel good!! "
Why am I walking on sunshine? Well, I'll give it to you in one word- FORGIVENESS!
Wow- I finally have experienced a very low valley in life, with someone I never thought possible, and after 6 long months without having that relationship, I finally forgave and am on to rebuilding that relationship.
Someone once told me that "I have forgiven that person, but I don't have to have a relationship with that person"..... Really? That's a big pile of BS in my opinion! If you can't have a relationship, then you haven't forgiven.
I recently was told If we receive forgiveness from God, we must give it to others who hurt us. We cannot hold grudges or seek revenge. We are to trust God for justice and forgive the person who offended us. That does not mean we must forget the offense, however; usually that's beyond our power. Forgiveness means releasing the other from blame, leaving the event in God's hands, and moving on.
So my friends, I'm moving on! I feel so much better having that big ol stuffy cloud above my head, daunting me to let it go, get it out, forgive Brittany, and move on!
And just as soon as I let it all go- I immediately had this song in my head....
"I'm walking on sunshine , wooah
I'm walking on sunshine, woooah
I'm walking on sunshine, woooah
and don't it feel good!! "
Have a great day, friends!
