If you read my post yesterday, then you know that the Lord revealed unforgiveness that I was carrying that I didn’t even know I was carrying. I said I would reach out to him and I did.
Here was his response to my email.
Hey Kev-O,
It’s great to hear from you! My memories of you are all good. I don’t recall that but, That guy sounds like a jerk !! I would have left too. Don’t let “that guy” take up any space in your head. Or how you reacted. I hope everything is going well for you my friend.
As you can see I am an Allstate Agent (20 years now) crazy. What have you been up to?
All the best,
Kevin
What a powerful response.
He had no idea or recollection of that day, but I remember it like it was yesterday. The pain, the hurt, the anger. All of the above. I remember I wanted to beat him.
So where does the deceit come into play. I was deceived I wanted vengeance, I wanted Payback , He owed me, I had a great job and he cost me my job. So I thought. I decided why he did what he did. I picked up my toys and went home. This was not my fault. (but it was, I chose to react.)
I had been carrying that for 27 years and he just went on about his life like nothing never happened because in his eyes nothing did happen. Now I can’t say exactly how much that event affected me but you know it did to some extent.
Think about it for a moment, the people in your life that you have unforgiveness towards, most likely they don’t even know how you feel. They might not even be alive for that matter. If they have passed then what does that say about you?
There are people that you know you need to forgive but you’re holding on to it because it’s your right! Dead men have no rights.
I would be willing to say that if you are reading this, then a name or face just surfaced in you mind. Deal with it now and invite Jesus into your darkness and listen.
They are living free and you have put yourself in a prison and threw the key away. It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.
Time to get your life back. Galatians 2.20 I have been crucified and it is I who no longer lives
Love Well
