the garden of my spirit

It took me some time to let my Heavenly Father dig those ugly roots out of my spirit & heart. every now and then, one of them tries to take root again.   I used to say "I'm entitled to be angry! he/she/they lied to/lied about/hurt/betrayed me"  but then I learned I was not entitled to hang on to my pain.  we are not supposed to hurt any of His children! I'm one of His children and I was hurting myself!  So now when one of those ugly roots tries to sprout up again, I do my very best to let the Master Gardner remove it, by helping me to forgive that person(s) & myself.  I can't tell you how wonderful it is to forgive those others & to be forgiven by my Heavenly Father (& hopefully by those I wronged!)
The attached post is right on target!!
