                        Forgiveness

I come in to heal your heart of the offenses that hinder you from being 
all that I created you to be, during this time and in the future. 
Forgiveness is key right now, so that you may be free from the past, 
and so that you can walk upright with Me into the future. 

I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. When Jacob returned to his 
birthplace, he was afraid of Esau. He looked to Me to be with him as 
he returned home--and I was.* Forgiveness flowed. Restoration brought 
great joy and cleansing. 

Come to Me, and I will give you My Spirit of forgiveness, for those 
you have wronged, and towards those who have wronged you. I will be 
faithful to give and to restore. And I, the Lord your God, will give 
you a new name, to walk with Me for the rest of your life. 

Allow My Spirit to search you, to show you where forgiveness is needed, 
so that you will be free and set others free from the bonds you hold 
against them. Then you will be strong to overcome in the times of 
trouble ahead. Let Me cleanse you, so that You may receive My full 
portion for you in this hour. 

I love you with such a great love, and will bless you with My presence 
all of the days of your life. I would have you free from all bondage 
that so easily ensnares you, to use you as My chosen vessels. Meet with 
Me, let us forgive together as I show you My heart towards others and 
yourselves.

Come, child, come.      

* Gen 35:3
