My husband died almost 10 years ago. I am alone believe me. If someone says something I know will lead to a family fight I just say I don’t remember. But it doesn’t help, they now think i can’t remember anything at all. Sometimes they get very sarcastic to me saying they are sure they remember something I don’t . I have nobody to talk to that will really listen to me with compassion and love. They say they love me but I never feel it. I broke my fib tib and crushed my knee cap. Then about a month later I broke my hip on the same side. Now I can’t seem to walk with a walker, but a lot of the time I use my wheelchair a lot. The daughter I live with is very sarcastic, it hurts so much. We had a difficulty after my husband died,I have forgiven her for all she did to me, but she won’t forgive me at all. We were always very close now she doesn’t want anything to do with me. I wish I knew my purpose here on earth so I could fulfill it and go to be with my lord. This is to long but I need someone to talk to. In the past year I also had Covid 2times, I found out I have congested heart failure and copd they put me in physical therapy places that were terrible. But noon one would get me out. They were terrible places. I begged for someone to help me get out but no one would help and get me out. I only had physical therapy about 30 min. A day it was no help at all. I lost over 50 lbs in a month but the food was so bad I couldn’t eat it. Please pray for me i Need it very much. Thank you so much. God bless you for hearing me out. There is so much more I could tell you but this is long enough already.

Jenna Greer, thank you for those words. I divorced my husband when I found out he was sexually abusing our daughter and people at my church keep telling me how wrong I was for doing it. I've forgiven him but I never want to be married again! My daughter is an adult now who is having a lot of issues because of what was done to her while I was working. Again thanks for the encouragement.

[@grateful4grace1969]

@@conniehalfhill6462 I’m so sorry that happened to your daughter and you! Then your church did more damage. You absolutely did the right thing! God allows for divorce in certain circumstances, this definitely falls into this category! Mathew 5:31-32; 19-9; Luke 17-2 (had you returned would have placed her in harms way of more SA or mental & emotional harm) Forgiveness doesn’t mean you must re-engage with an abusive person or relationship. 1 Corinthians 15:33, Proverbs 13:20, Psalm 1:1, Proverbs 6:27, 1 Corinthians 5:11, 1 Corinthians 10:13 to name just a few (this would include the church that told you to return to a person who was ) Forgiveness is hard but God commands it and it’s healthy for our emotional well being! The pain/hurt is a primary emotion that turns into secondary emotions like: hate, anger, rage, bitterness, etc…The longer you hold onto secondary emotions the deeper it grows in your heart, soul, & mind. This affects every single relationship in life! We have to pray God “roots” it out! The deeper it is the harder & longer it takes to get it out! God had to work on me and it took a while. I thought I had forgave but just a thought brought secondary emotions up. God smacked me upside my head saying see- you have not forgave! If you had, you wouldn’t be feeling these negative emotions! He showed me how to truly forgive. He showed me that some relationships you DO NOT have to continue and that’s ok. Forgiveness doesn’t always mean you must continue ALL relationships.

I've learnt how to forgive. I go to the cross. Jesus said, Father forgive them for they know not what they do. I walk in His Spirit exhibiting Christs attributes, as those that are God's chosen, are to be the light in the world. If we don't forgive and pray for those who hurt us, we are not walking in His Spirit. A house (life) devided, cannot stand. Accurately, when people are nasty and living without Jesus as their Saviour, I feel Gods tears on my head. What a beautiful world this would be if everyone loves as our Father loves us

[@RejoiceEthiopia]

I am praying and fasting for God to remove my bitterness 😢 please pray for me ❤

[@Stubbornclarity]

I hope that you will actively continue to work on letting it go. I'm working on this as well. Someone I loved hurt me deeply, and even worse,took great pleasure in it. 😢. It's been a long road to try and just let it go. The sense of injustice is the worst part. But if I let my abuser turn me bitter and hateful like him,then he's winning at bringing me down to his level. So I actively work on forgiveness and understanding,and being more careful on who I trust and what I say. I wish you healing and peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️. May the pain fade away soon.

Lord, I thank You for this sermon: I did all 5 in this post w/my cousin: I later had to accept that he hurt me over 44 yrs ago while he molested me, I couldn't recite Luke 23:34 back then ("Father, forgive him; For he knows not what he's doing"!), though Romans 12:19-21's been in my favor over the yrs., I learned to pray for him (& all my enemies!)-"Verily, I say unto You", says The Lord; Matt. 5:44-"Love your enemies, bless those that curse you, do good to them that hate you, And Pray For Those Who Will Persecute You And Despitefully Use You In My Name's Sake"!; not 'prey' either, I reconciled with him that day, but I still carry that permanent scar; and every day, I ask The Lord for His divine strength and His unmedicated Grace & Mercy! Ever since Feb. 1, 1990, I ask for forgiveness daily; also for my enemies: 'Coz "we all have (& still do!) sin and fall short of God's Grace & Mercy "(Rom. 3:23)!!

[@merrittascott4408]

@@godschild9528 Hi, depression is no light feeling, it's awful. The Bible has written everything we need about ,even depression. We know how king David struggled at times, and what did he do ? He began to stir Himself up in his reliance and trust in God. That isn't majic,but it focuses on the god Who knows every word we're going to say, before it's even out of our mouth. Jesus carried the cross He would hang on for our sacrifice for sin. When the women were weeping, He turned to them and said, don't weep for Me,weep for yourselves, I am doing this for the joy set before Me. But what a struggle He had in the garden to submit to the will of God. Charles, your strength in life is knowing Jesus so you may love Him with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. A being so rooted and grounded in His love, that the circumstances outside of ourself becomes a hill instead of a mountain. The Word of God is powerful, supernatual powerful. When you read, say, in the Psalms, your invigorated with faith in our God. Even in depression, we should see it as enduring and being faithful to the end. We have a hope, the struggles that we have in this life cannot be compared to the things God has prepared for THOSE WHO LOVE HIM. Love like that is not about emotions. The love God teaches us is found in 1 Corinthians 13. Charles, fight the GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH. The flood waters will not overcome you.

I’m so sorry love, I know that hurts. Don’t expect a quick fix, this will take time. Continue to pray and pray and pray. Try to remember and constantly tell yourself that what he had done has absolutely nothing to do with you. It’s a complete reflection of his heart and there was nothing you could have done to change that. You are Gods precious daughter and He stays close to the broken-hearted so don’t think you are alone because I promise you are not. Your ex husband (or maybe husband) didn’t have a relationship with God and because he did not his heart was in the wrong place. No relationship will work if God is not in the middle of it, if He is not the #1 in both of your hearts. You will heal, I promise. You are strong and God has a plan, He will turn the bad into good.

[@NotOfThisWorld-eu2nk]

Know that feeling well. That is the hardest part, simply because Satan hates forgiveness, so reaching to GOD and being able to forgive is 1 step, but Satan reminds us that we are the reason behind what we did. When GOD has already told us that it has been forgiven and washed clean. Trust me , I fight that battle for allowing Satan to blind me until I destroy something so perfect and burned every single bridge. We just have to trust HIM and know it will be okay, and move forward and not make the same mistakes again. That brings future joy that exceeds what was . Remember,, fear looks behind, hate looks around and faith looks up. Satan wants to keep us in or past actions in order to keep a foot in the door to block GODS grace.

@Susan Fox...You took the words right out of my mouth! Like you, I stumbled across this video tonight while looking for another one. The title caught my eye since I have a lot of past hurts & have not truly forgiven certain people even though I say I have. But I realized tonight I haven't. If not, I would not have felt so convicted watching this! I have never heard of this pastor or this church, but somehow God brought it to my eyes to watch for a reason! I have never heard a pastor preach on this in the manner that he did. He spoke to me so deeply & personal! There is no such thing as 'coincidence' with God. I was meant to watch this. Now I need to start the work in forgiving everyone completely & pray God heals those deep wounds from the past, all the heartache. 💔💔

I have forgiven but the pain goes on and on. I don't understand why? I just want to move on. To heal. But it seems like I'm cursed because people just keep on hurting me. 💔☹️. And there's a sense of injustice that goes with this forgiveness too. Because they get away with it. But I choose to release it. Because when you choose to take revenge,dig two graves.

Tonight by accident, I found you on KZbin. I too was abused. I can’t go visit my parents anymore. It took me 63 years to realize that I didn’t have to keep going to their house time after time to visit and be a good child, to only leave within the first 20 minutes and literally cry in my car so loud I’m surprised the neighbors didn’t hear me. Continually they hurt me, put me down, talk to the other 2 sisters like they were gold and turn right around and talk to me like I was dark ugly sin. I cried all day for 3 days. My depression was so bad, I couldn’t eat, bathe or do anything but lay in bed.. My older sister even invited me to go see them with her! They are 88 and 89. I had to learn in counseling that I was worthy of love, so I have not been to visit them in 3 years. The entire extended family including aunts and uncles hate me for not sucking up to my parents. They have heard all their lies about me, yet never have been called to hear my truth. One uncle even said he wished he could beat me to death. I HURT! My entire life has been ruined by their hate for me. I’m not going to their funerals either. I refuse to hear how wonderful Ann and Bob were, when I was the child that was beaten until I was 19 and left home. Yet their verbal abuse has not stopped. I thank zGod that tonight some stranger preaching my story said ITS OK NOT TO GO BACK. My Depression and Anxiety is real because of them, yet I’m told I need to get over it. If I hear let go and let God one more time , I might kill myself!! That little sentence is suppose to bow down on my knees and ask my parents to love me, even though they hurt me. I want to tell them what to do with that cutsie phrase. I want to give it to God, but not on the families terms. I can’t go back. They are dead to me and ow I’m trying to heal. Sometimes I pray for them, but I’m not ready to let them off the hook. Younare saying, let God take care of them for what Thayer have done to me. God gave me a blessing tonight by hearing your words. Thank you and Dear God thank you for letting it be so plain that I could understand that I’m taking the right steps! I love you . ❤️

I think the hardest part about past hurts for me is living with the pain every single day. Some days I barely think about the person or the incident but then other days I get so consumed in my pain I can’t leave my bed. It’s been almost 2 years since my “break up” and it’s still hard to talk about. The thing that really dumbfounds me and ignites this anger inside is that the other person probably hasn’t lost one minute of sleep over the incident. In fact they are still convinced they are the victim and I’m to blame for what happens. I don’t know when but I hope the day comes that I will truly be able to forgive her and move on. I’m trusting lord that you will help me get to that place.

[@vickyeverest1352]

In case this helps others, The Holy Spirit showed me, God's word says, "ask anything in accordance to my will, and you will have it" so....I asked God for His forgiveness and compassion for my abuser. God ALWAYS immediately responded, and when He told me I must take the kids and go (it had become physically abusive), the compassion I prayed for was altruistic, that is how "right on," faithful and consistant God is. When, at the last minute, my children decided Not to come with me, I was shattered again/anew, but Shawn is right, Unforgiveness is a command and can damage us. I asked God to parent in my absense. Because He taught me how to forgive, I have fellowship or relationship with some of my now grown children. The Pain is real, but He is the Healer.

I have been carrying years of hurt, disappointment, unmet expectations, rejection and abandonment. My hurt has hurt so bad, I can taste it. It infiltrates every part of my broken heart. What he said about hurt turning into anger, then to bitterness is so real for me. I have been hurt so deeply that I am so angry by all the hurt I have experienced because I know I have a good heart. Healing isn't easy, but it is needed to be set free. I need God to be with me at this moment, because my heartbreak is tremendous. I am praying my heart can really forgive all the pain I experienced.

Your words sounds exactly what I did trying to find something to help me with my hurts. Your hurts sounds just like my life's story. I have a good heart and am a Christian that has a load that I carry so many times in my own life. I have forgiven so many that has said and done things to me that I have felt so broken in my life. I guess my expectations of people are higher than what they are willing to do. I believe that Satan speaks right through people and discourages us. Satan has his children here on earth that are under his power, but God is greater than him. Satan goes around to seek and destroy whom he may. And even when we are think at times we are over hurts, Satan will come by and speak to our minds to remind of life's bad experiences. But God speaks to our hearts to uplift to help us. We are not perfect and needs God's grace to help us each day. As long as we live, we will have things and people to hurt us. But we will hold onto God until He takes us home one day and be with Him and our loved ones.

I was searching for sermons on forgiving myself. I was in an on again and off again relationship with a guy for 5 years who kept telling me that God told him I was his wife, but his actions never lined up. I finally decided to walk away for good once I found out he had been cheating on me for the past 2 to 3 years. I immediately forgave him because I didn't want to hold on to it because I knew I would never be free if I did. But the pain of it started to come and I realized that I needed to forgive myself for allowing the disrespect, emotional unavailability, dismissiveness attitude towards my feelings/concerns and lack/poor communication to name a few and for just staying too long. It has been a challenge day by day for the past month. But what has kept me going is knowing that everyday God wakes me up he gives me the strength I need to get through this, and he is a good good father and he loves me. Awesome message and I will defiantly be playing this on repeat and utilizing the steps to take to fully be free, In Jesus Name.

I'll be praying for you. I know how hard it is. I was tormented by people who took pleasure in hurting me, and it was the people who I loved the most. So I get it. And I'm truly sorry for your pain. Praying that God touches your heart in a miraculous way. And that something beautiful will come out of this for you.🕊️💛

When right goes wrong keep moving forward. Forgive yourself, forgive others as God forgives. Amen

Been through enough hurt and pain to know FORGIVENESS is key here! Forgive them and yourself to be set free! 🙏🏼

[@SimplyHealthTips]

Do not let the bitterness and lack of kindness of your partner bring you down. They don’t define you. You know who you are. Do not let others define who you are. You are beautiful and you know your shortcomings. You are not your mistakes. You are a work in progress and made by God. Let it sink in.

I'm not a religious person but I was meant to hear this today.I can't let go of hurt from a person from 3 yrs ago.I will give myself permission to forgive and move my spirit forward,I realised my emotions have been holding me from reaching happiness.Trust is so hard to regain when your person you loved left you down.

Jesus knows your soul..God says in the Bible, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you"

[@bex82uk]

Incredibly encouraging. I’ve been hurt by people in my church recently and this was such a comfort although difficult in places. Jesus said being a Christian would not be easy but to take heart, He has overcome the world.

I have been hurt over and over by a man who I gave my heart to. I have been hurting 20 years n more now. I need prayer to get out. It's like I've wasted my life waiting for him to come back n remaining stagnant in my walk with God.

[@kathygale3663]

LOL Same. 😒 I'm 68 and haven't forgiven some things even though I received Christ on March 12, 1972. There is deep sorrow and pain. Everyone in my life has made me responsible for their emotional well-being and I have been a prisoner for 68 years. Anxiety took over my life in the early 2000s and I've been paralyzed and miserable. For some reason God didn't allow any medication to work for me so I've lived with it with very little relief. I'm weeping now just saying this. Recently lost my husband and even though he hurt me I loved him so much and miss him desperately. I knew he was in pain too but he still took it out on me emotionally. He was very quiet so it was passive-aggressive. I was the Christian and should have been more patient. He made a profession so I married him and then found out he wasn't saved. He was a dear man but he was very selfish at times. Yet there were times he was so sweet and dear and I miss that "him" so much. Anyway, like some of you have said, I "accidentally" stumbled over this. Don't think it's an accident. Better stop talking. Prayer appreciated. And I'll pray for you guys too. Thanks.

[@bettybrown6421]

I truly believe that my heart attack came from the pain and stress I was having.thank God I pray for those have hurt me and I truly forgive them.

Chains are broken by the precious blood of Christ. Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins. Friendship with the world is enmity against God. Discernment is needed.

[@cathybrake4635]

I really needed to hear this. 😢 the world is a tough place. I don’t want a hardened heart, and it is very easy to allow this to happen. Thank you for this message.

[@tuimaui3965]

I was speaking to my youngest son tonight, he lives with his mother. He had to go to dinner and said for us to continue after his meal. All I could think about was how good it would've been to eat at the table again, enjoying her food and company once more. How foolish I was to take every moment for granted! It's hard to forgive, to heal, easy to remeber. Love each other. And fight for love.

[@juliewarden151]

I was searching for something to help me heal from my breakup. He hurt me. I found this and prayed. I felt so much lighter. I know that I can’t be vengeful or destructive I must let God deal with that and my hurt. I still love him with all my heart but after leaving I found more hurtful things. I am turning it over to God to heal my heart.
