Seeking Forgiveness
I entered the church and sat down in the back pews.
Nobody else was there...
"Leave, now." Balan said in my head.
I immediately started praying, something I'd never done in over 50 years...
"God, I know I've done so much wrong in the past but I haven't talked to you in years. I have this demon inside me that's trying to tear me down and hurt others that I love. Please forgive me and rebuke this monster inside me...amen."
I dipped my fingers in the holy water and made a cross shape on my chest and head.
"Leave, now!" His voice was getting louder.
Suddenly I heard an angelic voice sing,
"Praise
be to You, O Lord
God of our father Israel
From everlasting
to everlasting
I followed the voice and it lead me to a room.
Yours,
O Lord, is the greatness
And the power
And the glory
And
the majesty
And the splendor
For everything in heaven and
earth is Yours
It was Amy...
Yours,
O Lord, is the kingdom
You are exalted as head over all
Wealth
and honor come from You
You are the ruler of all things
In
Your hands are strength and power
To exalt and give strength to
all
I stood there staring, she had the most beautiful voice I've ever heard.
Now,
our God, we give You thanks
And praise Your glorious name"
She finally opened her eyes, she gasped when she saw me.
"Wait. Amy, I just wanted to say...I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything I did to you, I asked God to forgive me and I hope you can too..." I lowered my head.
After a while, she finally spoke, "I forgive you...but I have a boyfriend now."
