Some of the weight you have been carrying isn't even yours
0:04
anymore. Today's scripture is coming from
0:07
Philippians chapter #3 verse 13 and then NKJV and it reads one
0:14
thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and
0:17
reaching forward to those things which are ahead.
0:22
Let's go deeper. Life gives us reasons to be
0:26
irritated daily. A coworker slick at the mouth.
0:30
Somebody cuts you off like you're invisible.
0:33
A friend moves funny. A family member says something
0:36
backhanded, then wants to pray about it.
0:40
And the easy move is to hold it, to replay it, to build a case in
0:45
your mind like you're going to court.
0:48
But offense is expensive. It costs peace, clarity, and
0:53
energy. And the wild part is the people
0:56
who hurt you isn't even paying the bill.
0:59
You are. That's why Paul said one thing I
1:03
do not ten things not I'm working on it, not give me time.
1:10
One thing. Paul had a spiritual skill set
1:12
called release. He didn't deny what happened, he
1:17
just refused to live inside it. Because forgiveness isn't
1:21
pretending it didn't hurt. Forgiveness is deciding that is
1:26
not where I live. And some of us, we keep calling
1:30
it boundaries, but it's really just bitterness dressed up and a
1:34
better vocabulary. Forgiveness is not weakness,
1:40
it's not being soft or letting people win.
1:44
It's you keeping your future protected from your past.
1:48
You're not forgiving them for their comfort, you're forgiving
1:52
them so you can move clean because you can't reach forward
1:56
while your hands are full of yesterday.
2:01
Think about this today. What offense have I been holding
2:05
on to that's straining my joy? Where do I need to release?
2:09
Not because they deserve it, but because I deserve peace?
2:13
What would shift if I stop rehearsing it and start reaching
2:16
forward? Repeat this after me.
2:22
I release what I can't redo. I forgive without shrinking
2:27
myself. I refuse to let yesterday poison
2:31
today. My peace is worth protected.
2:36
And here's faith's prayer. God, thank you for the freedom
2:40
that comes when we let go. Thank you for reminding us that
2:44
we don't have to carry every offense, every disappointment,
2:47
and every emotional dead from the past.
2:50
Help us release what happened without minimizing what it cost
2:53
us. Teach us how to forgive in a way
2:56
that keeps us whole. Give us the strength to stop
2:59
replaying what hurt and start reaching toward what's ahead.
3:04
We choose peace, we choose maturity, and we choose forward
3:07
motion. We want to thank you also for
3:10
making sure that we're all whole and complete but nothing missing
3:13
broken our life. And thank you for covering our
3:15
loved ones and everyone who is near dear to our heart.
3:18
And we honor you for all these things and we state all these
3:21
things in a massless name of Jesus to Christ our King, we do
3:25
great. Amen.
3:26
God bless you all. I love you and I hope you have a
3:30
fantastic day today. Y'all take care.
3:34
One last stop. Forgiveness isn't about
3:36
forgetting what they did, it's about refusing to let it follow
3:41
you into who you are becoming.
