Pastor
Well-known member
During this 8 years walking with the Lord i have learnt the following: Most of our defects of character and short comings are formed during time of childhood and adolescence . There was a time of my life when everything became so chaotic that i had to go somewhere and learn how to live better . Most of drug-addicts and-alcoholics come from parents with the same issues…or no parents at all …or dysfunctional families. Most of people who re-act to life in a violent manner…they suffered the consequences of violence at a very early age. Most of our responses to life are the result of pass experiences. Somebody very close to me who i dearly love was introduced to methamphetamine by her own father, such a situation consumed the following 16 years of her life.
I was the second child of a very well financially accommodated family, sports and studies was reinforced at home daily…I personally loved it…i loved school and getting the highest grades was my daily motivation; training hard for Saturdays and Sundays Karate tournaments was the other passion of my life…i Was surrounded by great motivation, love and family. FORGIVENESS has been the biggest struggle of my life as i learnt to walk with the LORD…to set my heart free from guilt and shame and forgive my self for what i did to my family and loved ones after so many years of drug-addiction and alcoholism, homelessness. They where good to me, and always there for me. Still after all this years of happiness and freedom, sometimes…memories of all the bad things i have done strike my heart and i feel so bad about…I still struggle with forgiving my self…So this morning i would like to ask you the following: I know there is a person at work that you have not spoken to for a long time, today go and forgive him…set your heart free. Maybe a family member that you got mad at and never talked to again…today go forgive him…find freedom from hard feelings and resentment.
I pray in the name of Jesus for the well being of all families here at UGM, i pray for health, I pray for unity, i pray for prosperity, i pray for forgiveness and freedom. In Jesus name. God bless you all.
