Had one of my exes start dating one of my current friends exes. Admittedly, we barely dated if you can even call it that, but she was literally the first girl that I ever had really strong feelings for, and visa versa for my friend. Well they started dating a long time ago, broke up, and then recently got back together.... Not a big deal right?
Well it wouldn't be a big deal..........if they hadn't wound up walking into the movie theater we were in..... Emotions and feelings that I haven't felt in forever welled up inside me. Seeing her face again, its just like.......wow. Then I look over at my friend, who Is very dear to me, and see that she's in complete agony seeing Him again. She has the same reaction to seeing him, as I have seeing her.
Then at that point the whole world seems to stop. Here you are, torn every which way. On one hand you're dealing with romantic emotions because you're seeing your ex, on the other hand you are feeling genuine unconditional love for your friend who is also hurting, then you are feeling anger at the fact that this is even happening...........and then you do what your spirit tells you to do, and has trained you to do for a very long time.
You let it go.
You don't hold it, because it is not yours to hold. They aren't your emotions any longer. You let those emotions, and those people go a long time ago. Picking them back up is not progressing forward. It is not acting in Love as God Loves us. Its not love at all. Its being selfish. You want to feel wronged, oppressed, hurt, and grieved. You want to have righteous anger for being wronged..... But did Jesus do that?
Did Jesus when He was wrongfully accused act out against His aggressors? Did He react with Righteous anger? Did He smite down those responsible for His pain and suffering? No........He gave the most significant forgiveness that I think is in the scriptures. After He had been beaten, whipped, disgraced, stabbed, and hung by His hands and feet as an example to those who would dare challenge the Religious mindset of the present day, He looked towards the heavens and said. "Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do."...........For they know not what they do.
These people are not to be hated. They are not to be torn down by us mentally. They aren't to be held accountable to us, or answer to us for anything that they've ever done. They are to be forgiven. They are to be loved. Because Love is not about us. It is about them. Its not about what they did to us, Its about what He has done for you.
So with that in mind, I pray Jesus that you pour out your blessings, Your Love, Peace, Prosperity, Hope, Joy, and Serenity on them. That from one person turning the other cheek, a door would be opened for you to change a heart, and a life. For from one heart being turned, you are able to change the face of a planet. Not with the ideals taught to us from a religious mindset. Not by any of our own means or plans, but God by your divine knowledge and love placed inside us by Your Holy Spirit, I pray these things.
In Nomeni Fili, Te Amor, Amen
