I Am Free- Healing Power of Forgiveness- Revised

You abused me physically and mentally, I believed I was everything you said. I thought you had my back totally, But my belief in you was hanging by a thread. I was locked in a mental jail cell. you were a warden of abuse, our union together was pure hell. You would often say I just blew a fuse. Your vicious attacks tarnished my self worth, that I constantly questioned my birth. When I finally got the strength to leave , I sabotaged relationships like you wouldn't believe . Because I was still in a mental prison of abuse, you remained the warden of my life. I gave up on relationships and said what’s the use, my life with you was pure misery and strife. I hated you right down to the core, my hatred for you was never a bore. Until someone shared the good news, of Jesus Christ, I had nothing to lose. I accepted him in my heart on that day, he represents love and forgiveness. By showing us how to live, he paved the way, he walked in love and kindness. He forgave me for all that I had done, and it felt really good . I accepted that the victory was already won. I took my power back, like I should. I felt free and no longer bound, therefore I was able to stand my ground. I had no choice but to forgive you, and I am no longer sad and blue. In that moment I took my power back, I didn’t stress over what I lack. I want to share my freedom with others like me, so they in turn can be totally free.
