You can forget what happened,
What they said.
Holding on to the violation
Only puts junk in your head.

Learn to dismiss,
Release the urge to strike back.
Smile and remember
Why you’re under attack.

Your enemy wants to steal your joy
To kill your peace
To destroy your hope
And wants love to cease.

Remember every sin
Was nailed to the cross.
Even the ones against you
Were blood-washed.

Give the favor you received
When you learned to believe
Forgive and release with love
And enjoy the peace you will receive.

We often want to receive favor, but when Christ issued the Great Commission, He said go and teach others to do what He did.

He forgave and washed away ALL of our sin. That was FAVOR!

If we are to be like Him, it’s time to start doing the same.

1 Peter 2:24

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.
