Title: Forgiveness and healing
Tags:
Blog Entry: We have heard it many times.   Learn  to forgive so  GOD in heaven  will forgive you.  Last  month when I had my monthly visit  to my  primary  care  physician and had my blood pressure taken she told me  that it was very high and also the blood test results showed my LDL as out of range.   She then gave me prescription  medicine for high blood and  cholesterol.   In  my 69 years I  have never taken any prescription  medicine until this  time.   And on top of that my doctor  sent me to a cardiologist for a treadmill test  and a heart scan.   It just so happened that in  our bible study we were discussing about forgiveness and healing and I was telling my pastor  that there is someone who I cannot stand to much less care about .  My  pastor told me  to  ask her forgiveness as this may be the road to having my cholesterol and blood pressure being  normal. I did call this  woman  and much  to my surprise she does not even remember and she forgave me  right then and there and here I  am still  harboring  this unforgiveness  deep  inside for five years.   Now  back  to  that  cardiologist, all tests had been taken  and when I  came back for  the results I told  him  this,"everything is going to be  okay won't it?"  And he was smiling  and asked me why I would say that .  I  told him because I know that it will be  okay. He had a smile on  his face,  turned  on  his monitor and guess what? There is nothing wrong,  my cholesterol and heart scan came  out good.  And I do not need to take  those cholesterol and  high blood pressure  medications. In closing, I think  everyone of us has been hurt and I believe with hurt comes  unforgiveness. Just learn to  forgive, forget about it and move on.  You  will  feel  that heaviness that you use to  carry will be lightened and you never know  this  unforgiveness might be the wall that prevents you from getting healed like  me.
