I read these words on facebook today as shared by a friend. I just needed it this week because I've been having thoughts about whether I'm making the right decision to stay quiet and be at peace with people who 'hate' me. I am blessed to receive this as a confirmation! Thank You, Lord!

The Father says today that your portion is to lay aside your rights in order to walk in My entitlements. I've heard your cries and yes you have been treated unfairly by others. I wasn't absent from the throne when you experienced the depredations of the ungodly choices of others against you. I was not hesitating to assist you nor was I pursuing some murky religious agenda by allowing you to suffer. Let it go, says the Father. Forgive. Release. Bless. Move on. I have called you to higher things. Come away from the feedlot of resentment and forsake the husks of bitter disappointment for they can never satisfy. Empty yourself of all protestations of self. Unclench your fist and allow Me to fill your hands and your heart with the full measure of My goodness.This is your day says the Father. The past is an insubstantial vapor that can only harm or hold you because you have placed your attention upon it. Let go even this day the things that are behind and become a PRESSING IN son and daughter in pursuit of the just portion I have laid up for you this day. It is a new day with new mercies. Whatever things may look like from a human perspective know that this day I make all things new and give you a clean opportunity to ascend into My grace and forgiveness.
