I've been thinking about reconciliation and forgiveness over the past week. I had the opportunity to witness first hand this happening between to two of my friends who I truly value, love, and I'm blessed to have in my life. Now, you thought I was about to put their business out there? Come on, I'm not THAT person, but it has been cool to hear them talk about each other with love and sincerity. Yes, stuff went on between them, feelings were hurt, but in God's perfect timing, healing definitely has been evident with my friends. Just yesterday having the opportunity to serve one of them and just see God's hand working ROCKS!!!! I, too have recently been able to reconcile with one of my friends who I prayed daily that the Lord would restore our friendship. I missed having her in my life. Again, my timing and God's timing definitely didn't match up! I needed to be broken in a lot of areas within my relationship with Him before I could come back to the friendship. Yes, I was once again humbled by my sin, and how stupid and selfish I was being. With the wonderful conviction of the Holy Spirit smacking that much needed sense into me. It really took one of our friend's untimely death to have us realize that God has us in each others life for a specific reason. So, reconciliation, forgiveness, and God's healing began in October 2008! PRAISE GOD!!! So, I write this blog to say that no matter how long it takes if it's days, weeks, months or years, TRUE RECONCILIATION CAN AND WILL HAPPEN!!! I will testify to that! When I just get out of God's way and let Him get a hold of my broken heart, HE WILL HEAL IT!!!
Reconciliation and forgiveness is some GOOD STUFF!!!!!
