7 Times 70 Times....I Forgive YOU! Will you...Forgive me?

Every time I hear this song, it makes me cry. I have come from a broken home and often
times have to forgive the same people over and over again and it can be so tough. I do
forgive you-my biological Mom and Dad and brothers and Aunts and Uncles and my
Mom's boyfriend's. I have and will continue to forgive you. God has helped me forgive you
and thankfully it wasn't extremely hard for me. There is just a lot of process to the pain
I continue to deal with, because I do have to face the facts that things did happen to me
that were not good for me at all-in fact it hindered me for quite some time. I forgive...it's
the only thing that makes love more abundant in my heart. I hold no grudges to you who
have hurt me in the past and I'm not just saying that, I mean it from the very depths of
my heart. The day to day struggles with the thoughts that come of feeling unloved and
unwanted, rejected and used...I forgive you! :) I truly do forgive you! I don't deal with
them as much as I used to! I am thankful God has used this brokenness to create in me
something beautiful to glorify Him-my Savior and Lover of my Heart and Soul! I love
you so very much! Watch this video and I hope the words encourage you to forgive
7 times 70 times to make it right.

 

(I tried to get the real video but it didn't work too well, but here is the song.

If you really want to see it just search up: "Chris August - 7x70 (Video),"

It should work!)

I’ve been living in this house here
Since the day that I was born
These walls have seen me happy
But most of all they’ve seen me torn
They’ve heard the screaming matches
That made a family fall apart
They’ve had a front row seat
To the breaking of my heart

7 times 70 times
I’ll do what it takes to make it right
I thought the pain was here to stay
But forgiveness made a way
7 times 70 times
There’s healing in the air tonight
I’m reaching up to pull it down
Gonna wrap it all around

I remember running down the hallway
Playing hide-and-seek
I didn’t know that I was searching
For someone to notice me
I felt alone and undiscovered
And old enough to understand
Just when I’m s’posed to be learning to love you
Let me doubt again

7 times 70 times
I’ll do what it takes to make it right
I thought the pain was here to stay
But forgiveness made a way
7 times 70 times
There’s healing in the air tonight
I’m reaching up to pull it down
Gonna wrap it all around

I lost count of the ways you let me down
But no matter how many times you weren’t around
I’m all right now

God picked up my heart and helped me through
And shined a light on the one thing left to do
And that’s forgive you
I forgive you

7 times 70 times
If that’s the cost I’ll pay the price
7 times 70 times
I’ll do what it takes to make it right
I thought the pain was here to stay
But forgiveness made a way

7 times 70 times
There’s healing in this house tonight
I’m reaching up to pull it down
Gonna wrap it all around
Yeah
I’m gonna wrap it all around

I’ve been living in this house here
Since the day that I was born

I forgive you from my past, my present and my future for every time you have or 

ever will hurt me, I forgive you!

Here is the story behind the song if you are interested!

Also, since I am saying "I forgive you," I feel like I need to say that I am very sorry for 

the waysI have ever let any one of you down who I know who read my blog. I have

said things I don't mean, I have done things carelessly and without thinking and it has 

hurt many of you. I have held bitterness and unforgiveness to several people. I have hurt

you in many ways and I just want to say that I am sincerely sorry. I wish I could go back

to those place and make things right and not do or say the things I have. I wish I could 

rethink things through and not be so hurtful with my words. I am so sorry for making 

fun of you and not showing you the love you need and the gentleness and kindness that is

wanted and needed. I am sorry I was not setting an example the times that I had the chance

and you were looking to me. I am so sorry for any way I have hurt any of you. I am not 

perfect and I will mess up many more times, and I know that. I don't want to though! I

don't want to hurt anyone in any way, shape or form. I love my family, my friends and the

people I don't know. I care very much about you and if I ever hurt you again, I want you

to know that I am growing and learning to love and be the kind of woman God desires and

would be proud of! The kind of daughter of the King that others can see that Jesus lives 

inside of me. I want to do better at forgiving and doing what's right. I am SO sorry...will 

you forgive me?
