WHAT TO DO WHEN FORGIVING AND FORGETTING IS HARD

Last year, Sis Pat tagged me in a thought-provoking Facebook post, 

She said⬇️⬇️:

"It's very easy to forgive, but to forget . It takes ages for the mind to erase the hurt. Now, how can one forget the hurt, after forgiving? Let's communicate, by hitting the comment box. This is a very serious conversation that is rarely talked about!"

My response ⬇️⬇️, 

"Seems you can read my mind already. I intend to write a book on this next year It's going to be very deep but God will help me . It takes the Grace of God to forgive, forgetting may not be easy, you may still remember it but you won't be pained. Instead of being hurt, what comes is peace , the peace that comes from God "

For the past few years, I've struggled to write this book, facing a daunting blank page every time I tried to put pen to paper. The words just wouldn't come, and I felt lost in my thoughts. 

Last year, I received a clear message from God: this book would be written this year. And yet, as the year began, I still found myself unable to make progress. I knew the title, but the contents remained elusive.

It wasn't until June that I felt a sudden surge of inspiration, a prompt in my spirit to start writing. Like Paul, I was determined to be obedient to the heavenly vision. And so, I began to write, trusting that the content would be divinely inspired.

Looking back, I realize that if I had written this book three years ago, it would have been from a place of pain and anger. 

Now, after a journey of healing, I'm writing from a place of restoration and hope. 

If you're grappling with pain in any form - emotional, physical, academic, or otherwise - I want you to know that you're not alone. I've been in those shoes, and that's why I wrote this book. 

It's a personal and intimate journey, one that I've taken myself, and I'm eager to share it with you. 

Remember, healing is possible.

My prayer is that as you read these pages, God will use my story to heal you wholly, just as He has healed me. 

May His love and grace help you overcome your past or present hurts and live the life He has planned for you.

Let's take this journey together.
