The power of a prayer

Deciding to forgive is the first step, but we have to do something more important than forgiving. We have to pray and bless our enemies. Wow! I am pretty sure many say to themselves: Are you kidding? How can I pray for someone to be blessed when the truth is I don’t want them to be blessed? But when we decide to pray for our enemies to be blessed, we are releasing them so God can bless them with the truth that has the power to free them.

I truly believe that God expects us to help those who hurt us by giving us the grace to carry on this heavy task. Our hardest test will be how well we handle those who mishandled us. Forgiving the ones who hurt us is the most powerful thing we will ever have to do, but it will open doors to many blessings in our lives.

We can only overcome evil with good, for the evil things that were done to us can only be overcome by a willingness to let go of bitterness and anger and by praying and blessing our enemies. When we show love, and we are kind and do good things expecting and hoping for nothing in return, our recompense is abundant, our hearts are filled with love and grace.

Love,

Carmen Monica

 

A woman’s heart

One of the most beautiful things in the world is a woman’s heart. It is both fragile and strong, delicate yet resilient. When a woman decides to give you her heart she gives you her most prized possession. If you love, cherish, nurture and protect it, a woman will give you the world. She will make you her world and everything she does will gravitate around you. Be careful how you treat her heart so that you will always be her guiding light, her island of joy, her place if tranquility, her confident, her friend and her lover.

One day we’ll forget the hurt

One day we’ll forget the reason we cried, and the ones who brought the pain. We will finally realize that the secret of being free is not revenge, but allowing the things to unfold in their own ways and time. After all, not the first chapter in our lives matters the most but our last. It is the last chapter that will show how well we ran the race. So smile, laugh, forgive and love over and over again. You show maturity when someone has hurt you so badly, and instead of lowering yourself to their level you let Karma clean up the mess.

Your life, your story

Tell yourself that you are strong and brave enough and go out there and live without restrictions. Let go of everything that no longer serves you or brings you joy. Your moment has finally come, so go out there and live above the mediocrity, step out of the box that held you down. Regardless of your age, the circumstances, the scars, make a decision to live the rest of your life worthy, filled with joy and peace. There will be days when troubles will come and they will be rough, but you have the power to fight them and stop them. You’ve done it before and you survived and came out even stronger than before. This is your legacy, your story of bravery.
