"Everyone thinks forgiveness is a lovely idea, until he has something to forgive."

C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

[gregoryward]

That's how I feel. Trying to do good by others but I get hurt instead. That's why I only want God and Jesus Christ 🙏💗💗

[lesleybw]

Cait, when you said “Even they can’t repay you, but God can, ” I cried. Thank you. I can take this with me.❤

[clairelaskey]

It’s my mom. She abused me as a child. Turned me into family scapegoat, family councillor and people pleaser with zero self confidence. In my adult life she’d blame me, berate and belittle me and get my siblings to blame me. So many lies. 😢 Nothing I ever did was good enough. She still lies now. I pray to forgive her. I absolutely don’t trust her. God tells us to guard your heart . I’m in self protection mode. She let my dad physically abuse me too. God doesn’t like a lying heart. May God have mercy on her soul . She called me a Jesus freak when I was 15 yrs old. She told me I was an accident and she never wanted me. At least Jesus carved me on the palm of his hand. I’ve never felt loved by her, never. May the Holy Spirit help me release the hurt, anger and sorrow.

I always pray "God, I leave them in your hands, You see how they've done me, You deal with them accordingly as the just Judge" He's never let me down. Glory to King Jesus 🙏

[daghetnie]

At a young age, my father mentally and physically abused me. This went on for about 11 years. The years after i hated him and kept asking myself why.

When i was 38 I got my first child. At some point i was confronted that when i lost my temper, in sounded exactly like my father. It was at that moment of realisation why I went through it all. I would never hurt my children like he did. My love shines every day for them.

I am grateful and learned to forgive my father. 2 years ago i was saved 🙏

I found forgiveness can be a process that when you're really hurt takes time and forgiving many times until your really free of the hate and or bitterness..

Eventually you'll get there even if at first it feels like it's not letting go of you..🙏🏼

[ashtrik]

Please pray that I can keep close to God and to trust Him to help me change my heart. Jealousy, envy and hate are destroying my marriage. I feel like every woman wants him and that he wants them even though he hasn’t ever cheated on me. Please pray for me. Only God can help change my heart and give me peace.

The key to genuine forgiveness is humility. Let go of pride and be humble.

[carrieross]

I needed this...I struggle with how I was raised by my parents...Pray that I forgive them both for how they raise me...May I forgive anf put it behind me...They have both gone on to be with the Lord and I need this bitterness gone from me...God Bless you...Thank you so much for being obedient to God in giving the message today...🙏🙌🙏

The best way to truly forgive someone is to pray for blessings in their lives and ask the Lord to move in their lives.

Revenged is like quicksand, no matter how careful you are, you keep sinking deeper.

Cool video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to move on, I really loved her so much i can't stop thinking about her and the memories we shared. I've tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail. I'm frustrated, and i don't see my life with anyone else. I've done my best to get rid of the thoughts, but i can't. I don't know why I'm saying this here, but i really miss her and i wish i could get her back.

Foregiveness is always possible and is always needed...so is repentance!

[tanyasknittingexperiencepo]

This was such a blessing! what really grabbed my heart is when you said forgiveness is trusting God. I have been praying for God to help me to truly forgive from my heart and this word was just a blessing. Thank you for your obedience to listen to God, May he bless you and keep up.

[stephanies]

Thank you so much for sharing this powerful message. Watching this a second time as the Lord keeps putting the concept of forgiveness in my path over the past 2 days through my daily Bible reading, church sermons, and now here. I know I need to forgive my husband who left and divorced me. And all parties involved. Please pray for my prodigal husband Edgar. That the Lord would deliver him from the enemy and turn his heart of stone into a heart of flesh. Thank you and God bless you church family ❤️

Some people only hurt once.
But, some people cause life long hurt

[nalayini]

'Forgiveness is an act of trust in God'....that hit home....I've never heard it put like this....what a blessing, thankyou for this video ❤🙏🏽

[mynameisyamell]

A lot of people think forgiveness is letting the person off the hook. It’s not!
