Thank you for sharing this message, I'm sorry your family went through it but God is so good ❤

I've spoken the words of forgiveness many years ago, but I can't say that I've honestly made that choice to forgive in my heart. I pray that God shows me how.

I have to forgive anyone that have hurt me because those who we would have hated don't even know that you hate them and the hate can only make us sick in every way possible it can kill you and these person that is being hated going along their way every happy and quiet well too and every time I forgive it makes it easier to forgive the next time someone do something to me thank you Father for giving your only son for our forgiveness I give my life to Jesus Amen

Thank you for telling the truth about the process of forgiveness. It's not linear and it's hard, but possible

Wow this brought me to tears that’s must be so hard for you just seeing the look on ur face when you talk about forgiving makes me want to forgive people

I really needed to hear this THANK YOU god bless you

the lord love us.

🖐🖐 I lift up my hands right now. I will finally forgive. God, I'm letting it go🙏🏽

This was a really thought provoking message for me. For 4 years I was in a physically, emotionally, and financially abusive relationship with my ex that ended with him sexually assaulting me twice before I left him. It has been almost two years since I left that relationship and I have not forgiven my abuser, even though he apologized for his actions. After watching this sermon, I prayed for my abuser. I didn't pray for forgiveness, but just that God would do something in his life. I hope to eventually get to a place where I can forgive him for what he made me endure.

I was Middle of 9, so...yea....we get our own "Box"... just God/Jesus have so helped with understanding why "I didn't matter" to my Mother, just My Dad cherished me...HE NAMED me, cause...I was a "burden " to other... I'm BLESSED I have a purpose...👍🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤

this message spoke directly to me. god is always good. god bless you life.church

Those are hard but truthful scripture and those words have pierced my heart too. I have experienced many types of abuse in my life but thanks be to God for His revelation of His love and forgiveness. Because I know Jesus loves me, I can forgive those who hurt me. For those who hurts others intentionally I pray the light of Christ would cause them to repent and receive Him. If not I trust in my JUST God to deal with those who do not want to change. Child abuse is something that burns me inside when I hear of it.

Thank You for telling Your testimony of so much pain and forgiveness, I could feel Uour pain while You were re living the situation, May Hod continue to put His Love and Protection over Your Sister Lisa and the rest of Your Family. God bless.

❤️❤️❤️

Powerful Message...Thank you Pastor Craig!

An amazing Word from the Lord!🙌🙌

Back in 2010, I hated someone I had strong feelings for, for 3 YEARS STRAIGHT!!! He did something that was horrible...and when I found out what he did, it broke my HEART!!! I hated him, and I wanted him to rot in Hell, because I saw him as a CRIMINAL!!! It was a VERY tough time for me!!! I ended up writing a fictional story about him, and, in some way, it helped me to get over him. I no longer hold anything against him. In 2012, I hated my father for 3 years straight, because of what HE did!!! I didn't forgive him until I got right with Christ in 2015. I truly DID forgive him, and I saw him a year later. Things happened after that where my paternal family didn't really bother with me, so I cut them off last December. I was so MAD and ANGRY with them for breaking my heart, and I held unforgiveness towards them. I'm no longer angry with them. I'm not even disappointed with them, because I've chosen to trust in God and surrender EVERYTHING. What they DID was disappointing, and what they did WAS shameful...but I forgive them. I can't have them in my life at this time, or anymore, but I TRULY forgive them. The reason as to why I haven't allowed them back into my life, is because of their OWN hearts. I'm not able to let someone back into my life for not changing, and it's because I know it would bring back all that pain again. I'm in a good place now where I can love them from a distance, and I pray for them. God healed me from my pain, because I realised that out of EVERYONE, HE cares about me the most. I truly am grateful for my Saviour, and my Father, and my Holy Spirit. I wouldn't know where I'd be without them. I'm hoping to release a song one day called 'I forgive you', and if they ever come across that song (as I have done a lot of songs on KZread), then I would hope they would really think and let it sink in. Even if I never see them again (which is ok by me), I want them to know that I hold nothing against them anymore. If God can convict them and show them where they went wrong, and they repent, and He showed me that it was OK for things to change, THEN...I would consider letting them back into my life again. There's been many people in my life whom I've had unforgiveness toward...but I forgive them all. I may not understand why they are the way they are...but I choose to let go. I'm not gonna allow myself to be in bondage over what other people have done...or what 'I' have done. I'm not perfect either, I've made COUNTLESS mistakes. I'm gonna be JUST like Jesus, because He's my PERFECT example. I forgive all those men who violated me, too. I may have had some TRUST issues...but, BECAUSE I trust Jesus, I will ALLOW Him to work in my heart so that I can see them the SAME way has He does.

Thank you JESUS

so good, thank you.

thank you!

The long pause was loud. I was raped by someone who claimed to know God. And I was asking God years later to help me forgive him. It was hard. There were some days where I wanted him to die or to hurt like how he hurt me. I can finally say after years of struggling with forgiving him. I forgive him and I pray that he will accept Jesus and come to him. He would have an amazing testimony and I want to see him in heaven. So the long pause the pastor did. Touched me because I have had that same long pause...

The person I need to forgive is actually called max , this spoke to me

wow

I find it easy to get over pain caused by strangers and to forgive people that are not close to me, but recently, I have found myself going through painful times caused by those closest to me, even when I have forgiven them. I wonder whether it's because I see them every day and I keep wondering if going away from them would help me get over the pain
