Stop Scratching

When you have an itch, every part of you wants to scratch at it, but you are also aware that as you scratch you begin to enjoy the relief from the itch and you will continue to scratch until you make the infected area sore and angry.

My beloved church when you do not forgive others around you and hold onto the offense caused, it is like the person with the itch. It will always be itchy and even begin to drive you mad unless you scratch that itch, but in so doing you will encourage that area of wounding to become continually inflamed and a major sore point in your daily Christian walk and life. Your focus will be consumed by the fiery burning wound, and you will find no peace, or soothing, as your need to scratch will fill your whole vision.

My family it is time to allow my salve to be administered to this place of wounding. It is time to stop scratching at the wounds of yesterday and bring in the healing of my love to these situations. As your focus has been robbed from you, the enemy has tried to blind you to the fact that forgiveness brings you into freedom. Sense the cooling balm being placed upon your pain and discomfort, and lean back against my breast, and come into my peace beyond understanding.

Live Free.

(NIV) Jeremiah 33: 6-7

“‘Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security. I will bring Judah and Israel back from captivity and will rebuild them as they were before.

(NIV) Colossians 3: 12-14

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

(NIV) John 14: 26-27

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
