A
TESTIMONY OF FORGIVENESS
My
precious daughter who has a
heart to hurt
no-one, has been a true
witness of the work of the
Holy Spirit in her life.
After
the enemy succeeded in
breaking her marriage
of 11 years apart she was
devastated. She had remained
faithful to her husband and
not knowing of all the
affairs he brought into their
marriage was really a blow to
her inner being.
The
days following the divorce
were a blurr to her. His
mental abuse had taken its
toll and had her where he
wanted her - defeated. A
mental abuser is very cunning
and manipulative and succeeds
in destroying ones
self-esteem.
She
saw herself with nothing, a
person no one would want and
a broken life. She watched as
the person responsible for
all this pain prospered, had
a live in girl friend, lots
of money, redecorated the
house and was gloating over
the victory of bringing her
to complete devasation. At
the same time, she was very
lonely, struggling and life
seemed very empty.
All
the while she clung to God
while the devil tried to
paint this beautiful life
style of partying, bars and
running around as she saw her
other friends doing.
While
she was in church on Sunday,
an overwhelming feeling came
over her and she was sobbing
uncontrollably. She prayed
silently, God you have to
help me, I cannot do this
alone. I cannot forgive and
forget all the hurt and the
past.
To
her amazement the pastor
stopped in the middle of the
sermon and said that God told
him there was someone there
suffering from divorce and
was at their wits-in and
could not handle it any more.
He said get out of your seat
and come forward for prayer
to have this yoke broken.
My
daughter looked around the
church to see who would come
forward, not knowing he was
speaking to her (she is very
shy and for her to even walk
down the isle is a hugh step
within itself). The pastor
spoke again, come forth for
prayer - God would not let
him continue the sermon until
she came forth.
She
got out of her seat and went
down for prayer - the pastor
called all his prayer
warriors around her and the
presence of the Lord was so
very strong.
The
Lord healed her on the spot.
Allowed her to forgive and
although she has not
forgotten the past, healing
has come a long way.
She
does not understand why she
remains alone and so lonely
but she finally understands
that healing has to be in
God's time and if she will
just wait upon the Lord, He
will bring her a Christian
mate and one that will be the
Spiritual Head of her home.
The
Lord laid this poem upon my
heart for her.
I
WILL FILL THE VOID
