LETTING GO

Today, I got this gist about this 'friend' of mine. He had a set back in something really important. My first reaction was to smile and think, 'Yes! Nemesis has caught up with him'. But my sane and righteous conscience pricked me. Then, I realised that all along, unforgiveness and hatred towards him had been living inside of me. I'd been too angry, pained and too hurt to forgive him and let go. I fell on my knees and cried to God to change me and purge me of these emotions. That moment, It felt like a log had just been lifted off my shoulders.
See, alot of people are still holding onto something or someone or maybe hurt, pain or anger that a bad word, heartbreak, death,failure or missed opportunity caused. Yes, I understand how much sadness that person or situation brought. But honestly,you've got to stop holding on and live. They are in your past. You've got to let go. If you don't let go, you can't move on and you can't live free. You begin to live your life like you're caged in some tiny hole. You get angry whenever you see or think about that person, thing or situation, you hate on him/her and life in general and your life just keeps revolving round and round the same circle of anger, pain and hurt. Now your heart is saying 'don't forgive'. Don't listen to it cos sometimes you've got to teach your heart and lead your heart to do the right thing.
My friend D and I, talked extensively today. D.U talked about love. Not just eros or philos. She talked about the 'God kind of love'. The kind that is unconditional and forgiving. She talked about how encompassing that love is. She talked about Agape. See, true love comes at a cost that only the brave are willing to pay. This means you have to be brave to choose to let go of everyone and everything that ever hurt you in the past, you've got to learn to love yourself and life and you've got to live again.
Today,Choose to love. Choose to live again. Choose to live free.
LET GO.
