    There is such a huge misunderstanding / manipulation in Christian circles about forgiveness & boundaries… walking away from a toxic relationship… there is so much confusion & doubt… fear, guilt…. Ugh. Frozen

    Forgiving What You Can’t Forget
    ~~~ That you need to forget and forgive means that you are still sinfully judgmental.
    The truly Saved do not sin/judge, do not fear, do not doubt, are immortal, One with God (in) Heaven Here! Now!!
    I recommend that you get Saved! 😉

  13. @nonahudson2912 on August 28, 2025 at 12:46 am

    Amen, it is ok not to forget, give it to Jesus❤

  14. @alisonmackay4922 on August 28, 2025 at 12:46 am

    I forgave him for raping me and he did it again…
    Grace sufficient to do good works ..is how I forgive ..stay busy..serving the Lord and worshipping ONLY him….the evil one is a thief
    Seven deadly sins ..greed gluttony lust envy
    Sloth. Wrath..vain glory…. jealousy is a sin

    That’s what I do for me!

  20. @Ladeeofthelake on August 28, 2025 at 1:03 am

    Out of obedience to God I choose to forgive this person for the fact of what they did to me and whatever my feelings will not yet allow surely the blood of Jesus will cover. God allows the impact to leak out of our life over time! God is into the long road!

  21. @nonahudson2912 on August 28, 2025 at 1:03 am

    ❤praise God!

  23. @aianawright368 on August 28, 2025 at 1:04 am

    Currently moving on from my very cruel past hurt with a man i used to mess around with. I gotta say the sorry part was the most heartfelt part.

  24. @cindiramirez116 on August 28, 2025 at 1:04 am

    So what happens when they never say they’re sorry

  25. @reneecisneros3158 on August 28, 2025 at 1:05 am

    Love and prayers!!❤

  31. @umeshsainidula on August 28, 2025 at 1:19 am

    Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They’re either lonely, they’re missing somebody, they’re depressed, they’re hurt, they’re scarred from the past, they’re having personal issues no one knows about, they have secrets you wouldn’t believe. They wish, they dream and they hope. And right now, they are sitting here reading these words, and I’m writing this for you so you don’t feel alone anymore. What really helped me start overcoming the pain and actually move toward my goals was reading Manifest the Unseen by Luna Rivers, it opened my eyes in ways I didn’t expect. Always remember, don’t be depressed about the past, don’t worry about the future, and just focus on today. ❤

  32. @eddieking8301 on August 28, 2025 at 1:19 am

    Great words regarding forgiveness but kind of blew off reconciliation which, if at all possible, should be the primary goal. 2 Corinthians 5:18. would like to hear thoughts. Blessing to all.

  33. @dinorahmiller4216 on August 28, 2025 at 1:19 am

    Thank you I have been married for 40 years and in the hospital he said to me I have cheated on me for 3 years he was so sick in the hospital and I am here with him my heart is broken.

  34. @KevinGCoxen on August 28, 2025 at 1:20 am

    Forgiveness ? Why would i empower an evil person with my forgiveness ?

  35. @Ladeeofthelake on August 28, 2025 at 1:20 am

    Rebellious act of forgiveness to overcome refuse to reduce your life down to the limitations of living hurt!

  36. @GlassFullIsh on August 28, 2025 at 1:21 am

    I’m a victim of extreme violation, both privately and publicly.
    Thank you for your good words.

  37. @evelynlie7414 on August 28, 2025 at 1:23 am

    From Indonesia, this sermon popped up today, and I feel so blessed I found this. Thank you and God bless ❤

  38. @elevationchurch on August 28, 2025 at 1:23 am

    The best time to forgive is before we’re ever offended. The next best time is now!

  39. @nonahudson2912 on August 28, 2025 at 1:25 am

    Amen❤

  40. @JodyBelcher-u9c on August 28, 2025 at 1:26 am

    Amen thank you Jesus Christ

  41. @radhakrushnadalapati9481 on August 28, 2025 at 1:28 am

    So many people praised this book Manifest the Unseen by Luna Rivers that I finally had to see for myself. No regrets whatsoever this book genuinely opened my eyes. Manifestation finally makes sense, and the changes Ive experienced are incredible. It deserves all the recommendations its getting!

  42. @공보길-i8h on August 28, 2025 at 1:30 am

    Great! Forgiveness!

  43. @rachelmoney6084 on August 28, 2025 at 1:30 am

    Literally sobbing right now figuring out how to be a single mom after abuse, indefinitely and manipulation. Idk how to even keep goin. Idk how to be the mom my son deserves when I’m in such incredible, all consuming pain.

  44. @loridamrell3680 on August 28, 2025 at 1:30 am

    I know this is old but I ran across this and it helped me I needed this so much thank you ❤

  45. @GeorgiaJames-h7r on August 28, 2025 at 1:31 am

    Lisa I needed this big time today trust me!! When you painted that awesome picturesque of that canvas of blood covering each card with your hUrTs on that floor I pictured a Red Velvet blanketing ALL your very personal hurts honey.
