Feel Like I've Been Losin'

The title of this post is a little deceptive because it sounds negative, but really life is so great right now! There's a new song on the radio right now that I absolutely love: Feels Like I've Been Losin'. It is a song all about forgiveness and letting go of hurt. And while nothing has happened specifically this week, I feel like it speaks to some hurt I have felt from others throughout this journey to you.

Here are a few of the lyrics:

I feel such a healing listening to this song because it is so true to my own situation. "It's wearing out my heart the way they disregard...They don't know what they've been doin'."  I can't let the things people have done (or haven't done) get me down because, most likely, they don't even know what they're doing. And what's worse is that it wears on my heart - not their's. When I dwell and focus on all the negative and hurt, it just brings me down. And, as I learned on Sunday, the purpose of my life is to be joy-filled and to share that joy with others. I can't hold on to the hurts if I am to be a joyful soul for Christ. How powerful to be able to say, "Father give me grace to forgive them, cause I feel like the one losin." It's time to let go of offenses, to forgive, and to move on. Life is too short to get caught up in the small things. So, as I sing this song today, I let go of past hurt and pain, I ask God to forgive those who have hurt me, and I continue on this journey to you in joy and faith believing all things!
