胜利思维 | 饶恕胜过伤害——第22篇
一切苦毒、恼恨、忿怒、嚷闹、毁谤，并一切的恶毒都当从你们中间除掉。（以弗所书4:31）
你可知道不饶恕、苦毒和怨恨阻碍了神的祝福在你生命中流淌吗？抓住过去的伤痛，会毒害你的现在并限制你的未来。但是当你放下这些情感上的创伤，你打开了上帝所预备的得胜生活的大门。
仇敌试图利用你的过去来影响你的行动和反应。他想用恐惧和羞耻来使你瘫痪。但是，当你选择饶恕那些伤害过你的人，并把你的过去释放给天父的关爱时，你就自由了。你可以用祂的喜乐来代替你的悲伤；你可以用祂的平安来代替你的羞辱；你可以用祂的爱和得胜来代替你的不安全感！
你不是由你的过去来定义的。你是由上帝的话语和祂对你生命的计划所定义的。上帝视你为得胜者！上帝视你为人生的冠军。
为今天祷告：
亲爱的天父，感谢您赐下的饶恕这份礼物。谢谢你的爱足以使我自由。我请求你现在察验我的心，指示我需要释放掉的伤害或痛苦，使我今天可以在宽恕和自由中行走。
Champion | Forgive Past Hurts-No.22
Let all bitterness, indignation, wrath, resentment, quarreling and slander (evil-speaking, abusive or blasphemous language) be banished from you…(Ephesians 4:31)
Did you know that unforgiveness, bitterness and resentment block the flow of God’s blessing in your life? Holding on to the hurt of your past can poison your present and limit your future. But when you let go of these emotional wounds，you open the door to the life of victory that God has planned.
The enemy will try to use your past to influence your actions and responses. He will try to paralyze you with fear and shame. But when you choose to forgive those who have wronged you and release your past to your Heavenly Father’s loving care， you can walk in freedom. You can trade your sorrow with His joy. You can trade your shame with His peace. You can trade your insecurities for His love and victory!
You are not defined by your past. You are defined by God’s Word and His plan for your life. And God sees you as an overcomer! God sees you as a champion in life.
Prayer for Today:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of forgiveness. Thank You for loving me enough to set me free. I ask You now to search my heart and show me any hurt or bitterness I need to release so I can walk in forgiveness and freedom today.
