Prayer and the Miracle of Forgiveness

Those doubting the power in forgiveness will doubt we have achieved it. This should not trouble or dismay us. These people who doubt probably dont know from whose Hand this miracle of forgiveness is from. If they did, they would not doubt. They would instead partake of this cherished blossom for replete good.

Forgiveness in its complete sense is a miracle of God. When no pain remains where there once was, all we can credit for it is sight: we see this situation as God sees it.

PORTRAYING THE FELT EXPERIENCE OF FORGIVENESS

How might forgiveness be experienced other than felt? Some might ask, "Has the hurt been driven deeply down, and inaccessible, to the psyche?" "Is it now unconscious to them?"

For us who partake in the miracle of forgiveness it seems irrelevant in the moment, other than to venture curiously, when we have the time, in addressing the question. We have no reason to doubt the miracle.

All we know is this felt sense of harmony is real, and it comes with no effort on our parts, and we can just know it is not entirely of us. We cannot take credit other than to thank God for the wisdom of faith in this situation.

When we feel not a shred of vengeance towards someone who has hurt us, and we may see with the eyes of our heart their hurt that propelled them to hurt us, we have been gifted, miraculously, the sight of God.

We cannot put a price on this sense of felt experience. All we wanted was to not feel hurt any more. And that is exactly what we feel now. The hurt is gone, though the memory remains. Through prayer God has caused a change in our hearts. Through prayer we have been healed.

THE MIRACULOUS HEALING OF FORGIVENESS

Healing is such a necessary function enabling life. Whether it is physical healing or spiritual healing we are desperate for it when we need it.

But in our desperation we can end up doing the very things that prove as barriers for healing. Desperation breeds frustration. After a while we begin to insist that God would heal us.

But miracles dont work that way.

Then when we pray and leave our healing to God, regarding the felt experience of forgiveness, God begins to work in the situation in a multiplicity of ways. He works supernaturally, within our unconscious minds, and within our hearts too. God is working in the heart of the other person as well. There are many more dimensions than these four.

How forgiveness works is a mystery, but it is assisted never more than via our faithfulness. The vehicle to faithfulness that augments the miracle is prayer.

When we do all we can to reconcile our hearts and our thinking we open every door and remove every barrier, on our side, to restore hope that the relationship would experience feelings of love once more.

Getting Back With Your Ex Boyfriend The Answer Lies in Text Messaging

Text messaging can be a double-edged sword. It could be the answer to reconnecting and getting back with your ex boyfriend or it could also be a deterrent and send your ex farther than when it began. Therefore, caution should always be exercised when using SMS in attempting to revive the relationship.

Dont get too excited though, there are 3 questions you will need to think about before getting back with your ex by pressing "Send".

1st Question:

"What are the reasons I want to get back together with this person?"

Before you pick up your phone and type away your SMS, give this some thought. There are a myriad of reasons why people want to get back in a relationship thats already ended. It could be as simple as missing the company of the person, longing for the affection that isnt there anymore, or genuinely loving the person enough to want them to return to your life.

Sometimes, though, some of the reasons are quite shallow. If youre thinking that not being in a relationship makes you a "lesser" person, and if youre using that same reasoning to justify getting back with your ex boyfriend, then stop and think for a second! A relationship thats ended doesnt mean the end of the world for you - and not enough of a reason to want to have the person back.

2nd Question:

"Its a process. Do I have what it takes to get through it?"

Know that simply texting a person and following through on the process to get someone back in a relationship could go either way. Upon receiving the text, some people who are led by their emotions would see it as a sign of affection and would possibly react positively. Others, though, could see the text as a turn-off as it would seem nagging. The truth is: there is no sure way to predict how the whole process will turn out.

3rd Question:

"What do I want to achieve in the end?"

Wanting to get back in a relationship doesnt end with you communicating through text and possibly getting back with your ex boyfriend. There are deeper things to consider, such as why the relationship failed in the first place. If your mind isnt set on making things right or changing whatever made the relationship break down, then it will inevitably end up failing again. Think about it.
