During SJ's session on other wounders and grief. I realized all the people who had wounded my heart, the very ones I had forgiven in years past. I realized I had never grieved and released them fully to God. I have written a list of all of them. The time has come for me to end this. During my time alone with God  I prayed that He would show me what to do. It wasn't until we were in soaking prayer that God answered. Tom, had made the statement "Intimacy with God is where real healing is found." During soaking, I began to look back over the last 11 years. Back to my first encounter with God's Intimacy. I was lead back again and the experience was as if I were back in Jesus lap. He had His arms around me. I could feel His breath on my hair as He told me "you are my Beloved Son, whom I Love dearly. It was then I began to visualize other people standing around us. Then I saw God and He gave me a ring of keys. He told me that each one would unlock all the things I had locked away for so long. He said, unlock each one and release it fully to Me and I will return to you your lost Joy. Since the Encounter I have formulated a way to do this and have begun the process. I'm writing each name on a piece of wood, and praying over it, then releasing it to God. Then tossing it into the fire. As the flames consume the wood I pray and worship and and thank God for his mercy and grace. This is 11 years or grief withheld. With each one comes more relief. Thank you Elohim for Loving me so!
