Psalm 19:14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight oh Lord my rock and my redeemer.
Even as I write these words for others, I am brought under conviction for the meditation of my heart is not pleasing to my Lord. There are those who have injured both myself and my loved ones and it is very hard to purge my heart of ill-will toward them. But my Lord will help me and remove from me these evil ponderings.
To be forgiven, I must forgive. Though the burden is heavy, the Lord is mighty and He will help me in my time of weakness. For He says "My Grace is sufficient for thee, for my strength is made perfect in weakness." (2nd Corinthians 12:9) And even now my Lord, I come to thee and plead my cause. Remove from me this hot anger and let me be as your lamb, quiet and at peace and following your voice. Help me to forgive, even as thou hast forgiven me. Quiet my raging thoughts and the deep-seated bitterness in my soul, and take from me the sin that sits like a rock in my heart. Help me to forgive. Many have been my enemies my Lord. Help me to forgive them all and move out into the sunlight where your children enjoy your company. I don't want to be alone and in a dark place, nursing my anger and my dislike of this particular person. Forgive and help me to forgive also.
There is no need to nurse old wounds. Let the Lord of light apply His healing love to your weary heart tonight. Be at peace. The Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee. Rejoice and be glad for the Lord lives to help us and releave us of our burdens.
