"For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him back for ever not now as a servant, but more than a servant: as a brother beloved, especially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord." Philemon 1:15-16
Today I want to share with you what my Beloved has taught me through lesson 11 “Time Heals” of the Restore Your Relationships course, and I want to praise my Beloved, because just reading this lesson unleashed praise in my heart.
At the beginning of my process, I learned very quickly that it is the Lord who is in charge of restoring relationships, that what is in our hands is to let ourselves be molded, and let our hearts be cleansed of everything that is not pleasing to Him, while He takes care of everything else.
This week when studying this lesson, I could only see His Fidelity, I see just as the lesson says, that it only took time to restore many relationships that were deteriorated and damaged in my life and I know that it is going for more, it is not over....
I know that sometimes we are disheartened to see relationships destroyed with people we love, but it took a certain amount of time for me to see His work and promise fulfilled in my life.
My heart is only full of gratitude, I see that those broken relationships that caused me a lot of pain and weight for some time, today I can see those scars with joy because there are no more harmful emotions and feelings when I remember them, but now I smile seeing that in no way way it has been me, there is no way that it is my nature, but I see Him covering me with His Grace to see those past moments with love and emotion.
It took time to learn forgiveness, to cry and feel broken so that He could rebuild me, it was necessary for me to pray for those relationships to learn to trust Him and know what it means to give my life to Him, loneliness and rejection were necessary. , in order to know Him and let Him fill my life, every tear was necessary, to understand that my tears only belong to Him. Time is necessary for Him to work and prepare the ground so that that relationship when reborn is better than before. Even if you now see a broken relationship in your life, you can rest in the fact that HE can transform anything for our good.
Thank you for sharing precious Perla and how comforting to know our Darling Lord can transform really anything for our good and also that He know what is best for us.
Thank you, dear Perla. I needed this journey to get healed from so many hurts, including childhood hurts. But if we embrace this journey with our Beloved, He will heal every wound. I asked my Beloved to not take away the scars, because all the scars are part of my story, my testimony of how my Beloved took care of me and healed me.
Perla what you shared is so good! And is also so true!! I read a phrase somewhere that our Beloved listens and sees conversations and situations that we are not aware of! And He is also working in our lives when our relations seem shattered!! But praise Him for this course because it gives us a deep understanding of why we go through so many broken relationships!
He is making things new, in both our hearts and our lives!!
