I FORGAVE THEM AND LET IT GO

My Story of Letting Go
๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸŽˆ
When I came to Christ in the Spring of 1999, He immediately began to deal with me about the unforgiveness weighing heavily in my heart.

I wrote down the names of all the people I could think of that I needed to forgive. I went to the party store and bought a bunch of helium balloons, and I attached that list of names to the string and released them into the sky. I stood there and watched that list of names float up, and up, and up into the sky until the balloons were completely out of sight.

After that, anytime I recalled someone that had grieved me in the past, I would remind myself that it had floated up to Heaven on helium balloons, and I no longer had it. It became my visual reminder that all my grievances was with God in Heaven, and it no longer existed in my heart on earth.
