I have battled addictions all of my life; if 2 are good 17 gotta be better. Sometimes I have won; sometimes lost. Never measuring up to the standard I had for myself, never good enough. Always striving to be better; wanting to be a part of something bigger than me. For brief moments I would experience peace in my life, but never lasting. I know I have purpose & destiny; there is a plan for my life. Today is a day of recognizing internal change in me. I will never be the same again. Today practice is over and it’s time to play for keeps. Time to help others like myself to heal & find peace.

Forgive and Heal
The only way to heal your wounds is through forgiveness.
Forgiveness is an ultimate act of love. It is not the act of “forgetting” an incident or upset. It is the remembering and the choice to “give away” the hurt we have attached to the experience. Forgiveness is the living of love or the application of love to our lives. It is remembering that we are capable of loving ourselves and others in a greater way. The Law of Forgiveness states that certain ideas must be dissolved and cleared from the mind in order that other new ideas of a different character may replace them. Through forgiveness, we create new realities that allow us to experience greater love and freedom. Forgiveness sets the stage for a new act in our lives to begin. Holding on to judgments about experiences and people keeps us in limitation. When we allow ourselves the experience of forgiveness, we turn the key to open the cell of humanness and release the divinity that resides in us and in others, and allow that divinity to reign. Are you being healed through forgiveness today?

Forgive Today
Secret for today: forgive everybody for everything tonight before going to bed. Everyone has been hurt, offended, betrayed and mistreated at some point. Sometimes those wounds are small and easy to move past, but other times, they are deep and take time to heal. The important thing is that we choose to forgive so that we can open the door to God’s forgiveness and healing in our own lives. Forgiveness is such a powerful tool. Forgiveness sets you free and draws you closer to your God. One of the first things my mother did when she found out that she had cancer was to ask the Lord to search her heart for any unforgiveness. She didn’t want anything to block her prayers for God’s healing. And now more than four years later, she still has a perfectly clean bill of health. Whenever you pray, invite the Lord to search your heart. Choose to forgive anyone that has hurt you. As you walk in forgiveness, you’ll experience His hand of blessing in ways you never thought possible, and you will move forward in the blessed life He has in store for you. Have you forgiven everyone?

Emotional Healing
I think healing our planet, one person at a time, is a noble cause to be involved in.
I don’t consider myself a healer, per se, what I try to do is to create a space where it’s simply ok for me and you to just admit that we are human and totally accept what that means. It means we are flawed. It means we have emotions. It means that all we really want is connection and to belong. And it also means that we make mistakes. I believe that we are all emotional beings. If we really think about it and admit it, we are all sensitive. And we can feel things. But – just because we feel things doesn’t mean that we are aware of what we are feeling or that we allow ourselves to feel fully without repression, disassociation or some kind of self-judgment. This is a complicated issue with many different angles. I’ve come to believe that if we can begin to liberate emotions that are trapped, afraid to come out – that we can take a giant step towards healing. It’s a journey, not a one-time thing, but slowly over time these things can change. Are you in need of emotional healing today?

Caring
Do you know how important you are to God?
He cares so much about every detail of your life. He cares about your thoughts, feelings and emotions. In fact, what you are going through is so important to Him that He records every sorrow and collects the tears you’ve shed. Why would God record your sorrows and collect your tears? Because everything that affects you matters to Him. He is your Vindicator. He’s keeping an account of every wrong that’s ever been done to you so that He can make up for every single one of them. He wants to restore to you everything that has ever been stolen. He wants to heal every hurt and pain. Today, know that God cares about the things that concern you. He cares about the things that hurt you. He is close to the brokenhearted, and He wants to bring you peace and comfort. Turn to Him and receive His love. Let Him bring healing to your heart and restoration to your soul. Do you know how important you are to God?

Forgive to Heal Blog/Podcast
Forgiveness has the power to heal wounds that lie far below the surface and that torment people in their deepest parts.
Click to listen to Podcast
In life, we all have unfair things that happen to us. We can choose to hold on to the hurt, become bitter and angry, and let it poison our future; or, we can choose to let it go and trust God to make it up to us. You not think that you are able to forgive because someone hurt you so badly. You might say, “Scott, you don’t know how I was raised.” “My ex-spouse caused me a lot of pain.” “This friend betrayed me.” “I just can’t let it go.” But realize, you don’t forgive for their sake; you forgive for your own sake. When you forgive, you are taking away their power to hurt you. But if you hold on to that offense and stay angry, you are only poisoning your own life and disconnecting yourself from God. Forgiveness is like a door on your heart. If you shut the door and refuse to forgive, then God cannot forgive you. But when you open the door and allow forgiveness to flow from you, then His forgiveness can flow into you. Choose to forgive and open the door to receive God’s life, peace and healing today. Are you ready to forgive today?

Words That Heal
All over the world, there are people who are lonely, they’re hurting, they’ve been through disappointments; they’ve suffered heartache and pain.
God has given us something to offer them. We have life-giving, refreshing stuff in us. With our words, we can bring healing. With our words, we can lift them out of depression. With our words, we can tell them, “You’re beautiful. You’re amazing. You’re talented. God has a bright future in front of you.” Those life-giving words will break the chains of depression. They will break the chains of low self-esteem. You can help set people free from the strongholds that are keeping them back. You may not know all that is happening, but God can take one compliment, one encouraging word, and use that to begin the healing process and set that person on a brand new course. And when you help break the chains off of others, any chains that you might have will be broken off, too! Choose to speak encouragement. Choose to speak life. Tell others what they can become, give compliments, and live life as a healer. Pour out that life-giving force with your words and watch it come back to you in abundance!

Just Have Fatih
Have faith in God today. He holds all the answers. He sets miracles into motion. He will begin to change things in your favor.
It is a good thing when we have done all we can do. That’s when God steps in and takes over. If only we would come to that point sooner than later. We get all tied up in knots, stressed out, frustrated and worried; about the situations we are facing in life. When we allow God to have His way in our life we will see miracles, blessings and favor. God doesn’t always remove us from the situation, but He will never abandon us either. He will take us through the storms of life. Never doubt the love that He has for us. He will never put more on us than we can take. Have trust, in other words, trust God today. He does know it all and will be there for you. Deliverance, healing, and hope are in your immediate future.
