Forgiveness

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning! Are you still holding on to past hurts or disappointments? You say you’ve forgiven everyone who has hurt you, but have you? It’s one thing to say you forgive them with your mouth and another to mean it with your heart. Speaking from experience.

Short story (making it very short)…

For years I had said I’d forgiven my daughter’s father for the lies, abandonment, and heartbreak he caused me. However, in reality, I had only packed the hurt away and covered it with things that looked and felt good—one of them was my marriage. Well, sixteen years after I ended things with my daughter’s father (close to nine years into my marriage), we briefly reconnected. Nothing romantic. He reached out to connect with my daughter. He also apologized for the things he did and put me through while we were together (and afterwards).

Well, after he finished his spill, I told him I forgave him. Y’all, when I tell you I felt like the shackles had been released! I said I forgave him and actually meant it. It wasn’t all talk. Unfortunately and fortunately, that act of forgiveness opened my eyes to decisions and choices I had made while I was hurt. Which meant I had to clean up a few messes, beginning with letting my ex go (details about my decision can be found in past posts).

Listen.

Forgive.

Forgive with your whole heart.

I know it’s easier said than done.

Ask God for help—He’s got you!

True forgiveness sets great things in motion.

Try it!

Well, that’s all for now. Thanks for reading. I pray you have a wonderful day and an amazing week!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Reconnect With God

Shaun Bradford

Just came across a post of Fred Hammond—one of the greatest male gospel artists of my time—singing Commissioned’s hit song “Running Back To You.” Every time I hear this song my spirit automatically goes into praise and worship mode. Listen, if you have found yourself a little distant from God and need to reconnect, please take a minute and listen to “Running Back To You.” You’re guaranteed to reconnect.

That’s all for now. Praying you have a peaceful and restful night. Love you.♥️

God is waiting for you to reconnect with Him. He’s been waiting without judgement, but waiting with open arms and unconditional love. Reconnect.🙏🏽

You’re Becoming That Person

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning! Not sure if you realize this but every day you’re changing. You’re not the same person you were a decade ago, a year, not even a month ago. No, you are evolving and growing. You’re becoming that person God created you to be. So, whenever you feel like life is at a standstill or isn’t going as planned, remember where you used to be compared to where you are now. You’re so much stronger and wiser, and it’s beautiful.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Restoration

Shaun Bradford

Singing, “Restoration has finally come. I’ve been restored back to my place in God.”

Been singing the Winans’ song, “Restoration,” off and on since I woke up this morning. Y’all, God is in the process of restoring everything we lost and adding more. How wonderful is that!

Praying you have a blessed and peaceful night.♥️

Good Night,

Shaun
