Your discussion has brought back to me my own issues with "hoarding" an it is the exact same thing that I have often referred to as the "baggage" in my life. When I went through the process several years ago of being treated by psychologist to help me sort out my problems, I won't say that the ways in which they helped me to understand myself were not needed. But until I feel down at the feet of Jesus and gave it all to Him, it was only then that I was truly healed. But even then because of my infancy in my new life with God, months would go by and I would find myself in tears over things that had happened, crying over regret and hurt and anger. I had already been to God for forgiveness and I know He forgave me. I was watching a DVD bible study by Beth Moore and she gave an example of how when we ask God for forgiveness, it is like we hand him a piece of paper with our sin written upon it, we ask Him to forgiveness us for the things written there and God forgives us, wads up that paper with that sin and tosses it behind Him and it ceases to exist. Yet, here I was returning to Him over and over for sins that He had already forgiven me for. Finally through prayer and a new understanding of what forgiveness really means to God, I was able to forgive myself and accept the forgiveness that God offers. All of the emotions and things I was hoarding in my heart and mind have been thrown into this pit of "forgotten", if you will, and I praise my Heavenly Father every day for loving me enough to take these things away from me and for continuing to forgive me when I mess up. I love your post and it made so much sense to me. I also thank Him daily for this site and for each of you who provide so many inspiring words, who praise God for things that sometimes I forget to, and for having this new Godly family that I missed out on for so long. God bless you and all of us who are striving to carry out Gods will. Thank you God for every day you give us and help us to always walk in the paths that you are directing.
My dear Sister Nancy
What insight the Holy Ghost has given you. This is no small understanding, as I believe you know. To see "Hoarding" in such a way is very Powerful and Strong. To understand this, as you have is liberating. By seeing this, in this manner, is path to freedom from the bondage and imprisonment. To be able to disengage from the attachment of, these feeling and experiences in many ways defines freedom. In doing so, you allow Jesus to Heal those things that haunt so many. My Sister this is by no means a little revelation. The Spirit of God has shown you, a very dynamic and persuasive tool that if used can be used to set many free from the things that bind them.
