Sometimes, when someone hurts us,
we feel the need to explain ourselves, defend our side, or make them feel the pain they caused.
But God gently reminds us:
𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨. 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐌𝐞.
Letting go doesn’t mean what happened was okay.
Forgiving doesn’t mean you weren’t hurt.
Choosing peace doesn’t mean you are weak.
It simply means you trust that 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐞, 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥.
You don’t have to chase justice.
You don’t have to prove your worth.
You don’t have to settle every score.
𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐬. 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐬. 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞.
So breathe. 🕊️
Release the anger.
Release the need to make everything right.
Give it to God.
Because sometimes, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞.
