My Cell Door Unlocked by Sandra Scott Wright
The service had concluded, the pastor had preached on forgiveness. The pastor was my brother who didn’t know anything about my abandonment by my husband; I had not told him; I had told no one yet…
“I made the choice I would not stay in this cell of hate, bitterness or remain a victim of my husband’s attack. Satan had a plan he had begun to win towards my husband, but he would not win the battle on me.” I would not stay locked down like so many women who still hate any man that has ever hurt them. I would release the keys to his jail of me not forgiving him and in so doing release myself to go on…
I went to his place of employment and on my way I said in my heart, “God you have exactly one hour before his store closes to turn my heart back into flesh and not stone. I am going there and I’m going to sit there until I see him as my brother first who has fallen, and secondly as my husband who abandoned me.” I was determined to do my part and trust God for the rest. I had made up my mind I would sit there until I felt the change or they would simply have to arrest me and take me to jail for not leaving. I’d rather be in a cell made by man than a cell of me not forgiving him and bitterness locked in my heart…on my way to eternal damnation.
