Healing Little by Little

I saw someone today and they brought their new baby. Over the summer and for the last few months, I was so hurt by this person and their actions towards me because of some strife they had with my mother. I remember feeling so angry and bitter for months and then she had a baby about two months ago. At the time, I decided to forgive her. It wasn't an easy decision because I'm telling y'all I was so upset and bitterness started taking root. I remember asking the Lord to heal my heart and help me to move on. I didn't realize it until later, but when I saw her today, I didn't feel anything but peace. Praise Jesus! It may not seem like a big thing, but it's monumental to me. If y'all just knew how much I was affected not only by the situation with her, but ,in the past, just seeing someone with a baby and seeing the happiness of the parents would have sent me spiraling because they were experiencing what I always wanted. I, too, prayed that when I see people that had what I desired that I would be genuinely happy for them. Not only did I feel peace, but I did feel genuine happiness for them, even right now. Yes, it did bring some feeling of longing, but it was so faint. I'm just so thankful to God for healing me and making me better.

My Prayer:

Lord all I can say is thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

In Jesus' Name,

Amen, Amen, & Amen
