In Ps. Robin's recent teaching on "The Judas Factor" she spoke about forgiveness. It seems that every human being deals with the battle of 'trully letting go' and forgiving. Forgiveness is vital to a healthy life and is the only path to true happiness. Ps. Robin (my mom) gave us these special scriptures as a daily remedy for forgiveness.
"Say these 3 times a day facing the west", she said humorously.
Heb. 4:16
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Mat 11:28
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Psalm 55:22
Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Acts 3:19
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
Isaiah 43: 25-26
I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
Rom 8:1
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 Cor. 5:17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Eph. 1:17
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
Heb. 10:17
And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
Dan. 9:9
To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;
Collosians 1:13, 14
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
Psalms 103: 12
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

There is Freedom...
People all over the world go to sleep with secret pains...
Even the closest people around them may not be aware of what they are feeling and what is making them feel separated and distinguished from the rest of the world.
They wake up and paint their smile on, shoving aside the questions that hovered above them as they tried to still their thoughts and sleep. They may never voice these feelings out loud, sometimes not even admitting to themselves that there is a vacant ache deep within them.
Some people live their entire lives with these unspoken and unhealed wounds ailing them; and while they think that they are doing the world a service by keeping this burden to themselves... they are actually denying those that they care about the most their genuine heart.
These unspoken hurts are evident in so many lives...
My mom is an abuse survivor. She has undergone horrible events in her life... and felt the pain and after effects of abuse and betrayal. This weekend she will share live on the internet at Miracle Faith Center Global Church how she survived abuse and truly found freedom. So many people go through life without complete freedom. Within them there lies the remains and ruins of disappointments and betrayal. Children have been kept from the love of their parents, husbands kept from the love of their wives, brothers kept from brothers, all because their is an alienation and barrier created from secret pain.
I have realized that people can have all the signs of life.. and none of the benefits of it...
This is not the abundant life that Jesus sacrificed for... but believe me...
There is freedom!
Friends, we all have people in our lives that need relief from the devastation and destruction left behind by abuse, betrayal, or the like. Be bold enough to disregard these barriers and cross their lines with love, allowing God to heal them completely.
Remember... change is proof of living, love is proof of life...
