James 4:10 (NKJV) 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.<\/p>\n

Have you been through something that you are ashamed of, but God brought you through it?<\/p>\n

Years ago, I was ministering to a person, and they were going through a situation similar to something that I had previously faced.<\/p>\n

As they shared their pain, I too could relate to how they were feeling. The pain they were expressing brought back the memories of what I had gone through many years prior.<\/p>\n

It came up in me just like it was yesterday, and as I humbled my heart before the Lord I began to share with them my testimony of the things I had faced.<\/p>\n

It touched them where their pain was. They began to cry angry, hurtful tears of bitterness. And yelled out, \u201cwhy! Why do bad things have to happen to good people?\u201d<\/p>\n

I told them, I don\u2019t have all the answers, but the one answer that helped me was forgiveness.<\/p>\n

Matthew 6:15 (NKJV) 15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses<\/span>.<\/p>\n

They yelled out, \u201chow can you forgive someone like that?!\u201d And I said, \u201cbecause Jesus forgives us after everything we have done.\u201d<\/p>\n

They said, \u201cno, no, no, I can\u2019t !\u201d and continued to cry angrily.<\/p>\n

I sat with them for a long time and let them talk it through and cry it out.<\/p>\n

After they settled down, we prayed and asked God to help them to forgive. And then I said, there is one more step; not only do you forgive them, but you must also forgive yourself.<\/p>\n

Again, anger arose, and bitterness was heard in their cry. But they did it! Praise the Lord, they did it!<\/p>\n

It was through forgiveness that they received their healing and deliverance. They could laugh again, and the joy of the Lord was upon them that day!<\/p>\n

Sometimes our story that brought us shame at one time will be the very story that will bring healing to someone else!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be afraid to share it when God opens that door. Let us humble our heart and bring our testimony of deliverance to the table!<\/p>\n

Amen.<\/p>\n
