And I believe that the Lord has allowed me to go through my testimony of being denied by people who were called to love me in order to share how the Lord has granted me the grace to find forgiveness in those people who hurt me very deeply. and very badly, and a lot of people that I wanted to cast a stone against.
But God, through His grace and through His mercy, has granted me the ability to forgive and to move forward because the Holy Spirit resides inside of me. And I think when you're going through abuse and you've experienced abandonment or neglect, or you've been in an abusive relationship, whether it was
parental or relational in your family or relational romantically or uh in intimacy somehow it scars a lot of your perception of what love is and it's hard to come out of that when all you know is abuse and when you put the blame of your problems that you're experiencing now on people who have also probably been abused and don't know better and probably aren't in the heart of christ
And so what has really helped me escape the bondage of abandonment, of betrayal, and the collection of sadness, depression is forgiveness. And not just for the sake of the other person, but because it was for the sake of myself. it was more so I was releasing myself more than releasing that person. Like I released myself from bondage by accepting the grace that God has for me and that person.
So it's like when you forgive, you're releasing a person while also releasing yourself simultaneously. And it's just a freedom that you've experienced like never before. And so I want to talk about that today because I think forgiveness is a really hard topic, especially if you've been hurt and abused over and over again.
And I was really deep in my secret space consulting with the Lord what he wanted to do when I first spoke this sermon. And the conference name was called Grace on Fire. And so I kind of meditated on the word fire for a really long time. And I felt like as if the Lord wanted to direct my steps in this sermon somehow with fire. And fires is something that's super common to me.
I feel like I've known a lot about fires in my whole entire life because I live in
In california i'm born and raised in california and i'm more so in like the central part So there's la there's san francisco and then there's like a whole central valley Which is where i've lived and resided my whole entire life Which is crazy because it's a mix of like country life and then also city life And it's just an accumulation of so many different types of people which has been great but because I live in california because It's so dry out here.
We've experienced so much wildfires and Like, I remember even when I was a kid, seeing on the news, whether it was an hour away from me or all the way in LA, we have a lot of forests, a lot of trees. And so there was a lot of wildfires that would happen just because it gets so hot here and there wasn't a lot of rain. And just because of the economic, not economic, the climate. Yeah, sure.
Like the, what am I saying? Like the ecosystem of where we're at. That's what I'm trying to say. And so I was meditating on like fires and like how I'm familiar with fires. God, why are you leaning me this way? Because there's fire talks a lot about in scripture.
Like we know that fire references in scripture, like how God uses flames to reveal his presence or how God led the Israelites with a pillar of fire or or of how God is an all consuming fire. Like I know in the Bible, there's a lot of principles about fire, even like pruning and God trying and not even trying, but God refining and elevating his people through fire.
Like fire is stated all throughout scripture and fire can be used for a number of good things. And so whenever I'm at this conference and God was placing fire in my heart, He he just told me, I mean, I want you to kind of look at your roots, see where you've been. And it was almost like he wanted me to talk about the fires that I grew up in and what I've seen.
And so just going to give you a background of where I'm at about an hour away from where I live. I live. So where I live is like you're like three hours from San Francisco, then you're three hours from L.A., And then you're like an hour from the mountains and two hours from the beach. It's like a really nice equal space. You get like the best of all worlds.
And so I live about an hour away from the mountains. And if you guys know Yosemite, Yosemite is one of the most beautiful and I mean beautiful.
beautiful places you will ever be like there's people who come and vine all over the world just to see the yosemite national state park it is probably one of the most beautiful landscapes you'll ever see in your entire life and it's literally in california california is just truly so beautiful but uh right below the right next i guess to yosemite there's also a national tree forest which are these huge giant sequoia trees which are in california
And I grew up going to visit these trees even whenever I was little. We would always camp up in the sequoias and we would be around these big, big trees. And not just trees that are like, oh, like that's a big tree. I'm talking like tall trees.
thick trunks and these trees are massive like it could be a wonder of the world like these these trees are about 300 feet high and then 30 feet wide so these trees are pretty chunky trees and you guys may wonder i mean why are you talking about trees because a lot of the wildfires that happen it happens through these forest is And in California, I didn't even know it was this much.
I knew we have a lot of wildfires. But there was a study that says that there's 7,000 wildfires that happen in California each and every single year. And a lot of these wildfires happen an hour away, pretty much like right in my backyard of where I live. And so... With these trees, you could look it up on your own, but they're ginormous. Like I said, 300 feet high and then 30 feet wide.
And they live over 3,000 years. I remember whenever my fiance came to visit me, I think it was in April of last year, I took him up to these trees. And there was this one tree that we saw. It's like the Great Sherman. That's like the oldest one that's there. And it's like 3,000 years old. That tree has been here while Jesus was walking on the earth. They could be friends. You don't know that.
And so it's crazy to know that these trees have been here for so long, and yet they're so wide and tall. And what I love about these sequoia trees is that they have a few attributes that make them really special. They produce really small cones, which are about two to three inches wide. And they contain these seeds and their trunks. Well, these are like red trees.
