towards me, and that He had saved me from various critical<br />
situations before. “Only be careful and watch yourselves closely<br />
so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let<br />
them slip out of your heart as long as you are alive,”<br />
Deuteronomy 4:9 says.<br />
Most people try to live as if there are no issues in their lives,<br />
when in reality, there is a serious problem. Such people block<br />
their own blessings because they put a barrier in their hearts.<br />
But God works in many ways, and He is not limited by what we<br />
do. God does not care so much about tears and grief. He is<br />
mostly interested in a clean and repentant heart. Rubbish that<br />
is kept in a place for a long time produces toxins and begins to<br />
stink, and the odor spreads all over until it is known that there<br />

behavior is equally unpleasant because you cannot conceal the<br />
evil which is in your heart and mind. This eventually worsens<br />
your image. If you are like I was, do not fear, there is hope for<br />
total healing and grace. As you trust God and read and obey His<br />
word, you will gradually begin to notice a change in your heart,<br />
mind and character. Just hold onto God’s promises. In His own<br />
time, God makes all things beautiful.<br />
When I received the power to forgive, I discovered how much I<br />
had been lied to. I also found out that after learning to forgive,<br />
man derives his own peace from within. I was in such bondage.<br />
I lock myself in my room and cry. I was constantly moody and<br />
always worried about the next day. Those were the weapons<br />
that the enemy used to disable me. By the grace of God, I<br />
