healing
last night i went to vespers for only the second time this semester. it was incredible. i received forgiveness for a sin that i had been regretting for almost 2 years. however, this made me realize that it was time to confess. i had been hiding this sin from my best friend. i was so scared of disappointing her and ruining our friendship. so i wrote to her. i poured out my heart and asked for forgiveness. then i waited. all day today i nervously waited for her response. and it didn’t come. i became impatient. so i sent her a text asking if she was mad. and again, something incredible happened. i was shown forgiveness and love in an amazing way. here is how my best friend replied: “i do!! don’t even worry about that. that was two years ago. i’m just so sad that you fet like you had to go through that alone…” these amazing words of love and forgiveness brought tears to my eyes. all i can do is praise Jesus and thank him for such an amazing friend. forgiveness can heal people. so let’s all start forgiving those that are hurting.
