My Secret Place Exercise: Session 10 I see the shore of the beach. I see the stream in Colorado Springs where I like to go and call my secret place. Jesus: You are in hiding there. Come out to the beach. Be bold. You are part of a bigger environment. Lord, I have believed a lie that I must go on this journey alone because of the testimonies of missionaries and people that have gone before me. I forgive those who have given a bad report about You and about their journeys, for instilling fear.Truth: They didn't know You, Jesus. There are a million places to meet on the beach. Where do You want me to meet You today? From the tide pool, everything looks overwhelmingly big. My fear is that I am not adequate. That I will be in danger. Answer: You felt this same way in high school and with friends who did not have your best in mind. I forgive Deanna, Tom, Cliff, Steve, Mom, Dad, Patsy, Roger, A.J., Ricky, Terry and Stella. I forgive them and release them from the debt I believe they owed me. I forgive Linda R. for rejecting, abandoning, and devaluing me. I release her from the debt she owes me. She owes me nothing now. Jesus, where were You in my jr. high and high school years? Answer: I waited for you at Irwins on a stool at the fountain. I knew you liked fresh limeades.
