Hold. On. Pain. Ends

 That moment of complete peace. When everything starts to feel okay again. Holding onto past emotions wears you down... makes you feel like there's no hope, when really the light at the end of the tunnel is just around the corner; you just have to get up and go find it. Letting go of those heavy chains of anger and sorrow, and focusing on the good in life. I think Satan tries to make us believe we can't forgive and move on; that we just have to accept defeat and give up. When the fact of the matter is, God is standing right beside us saying, "Come on, get up. We'll get through this together. You're not broken, trust in me, and everything will be alright." Anything is possible with God. {Philippians 4:13}

  For me the hardest part is accepting the fact that there are evil people in this world, and that some just want to cause you heartache. (Yes I know. I'm that girl that just wants unicorns and butterflies.) But the thing you have to remember is that, when people do hurt you, you have to then understand the importance of forgiving them. Even though it's so hard to forgive others at times, the Bible commands that we do it-
Matthew 6:15

But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
God sent His ONLY Son to die on the cross for our sins, but when it comes to the point in time for us to then show that same forgiveness it's like we put a barrier up and walk away. I've been quilty so many times of just trying to ignore the problem and hope it goes away, but you know what? It never did. I was the one who ended up being miserable. I was the one who never could look past the sadness. I guess you could say I was forcing myself to not move on, because I thought that if I did that meant I was okay with it. (Crazy I know, just roll with me) Don't get me wrong, its not like with the snap of a finger everything was magically perfect... I've been reading my Bible, and really just trying to let God lead me through this. And with time, I know I will be able to see God's love and His love show through me; because nothing can be fixed over night.
