Hmmm ok thx kinda wondering about that…
Hi,
I am a big fan of you. Right after I commented on your videos, I had a email and a reply alert someone pretending to be you , asking to join TELEGRAM, then after few conversations, asked to transfer money on WESTER union etc.
I was lucky to use my sense and did few more checks and found out it was not you.
Anyway, seems like this is an on going scam on youtube these days targeting vulnerable people.
Anyway, love your good work 🧸

You have a lovely reading voice ❤, so soothing

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

Cait, when you said “Even they can’t repay you, but God can,” I cried. Thank you. I can take this with me.❤
🥺🥺 love that it resonated with you 🤍 thank you for watching!

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 🙏
May God show you great things

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 🙏
🙌🏼🙌🏼
That's Not Forgiveness, that's like Adam and Eve passing The buck.
@@bruce8961 obviously forgiving and holding no resentment towards anyone but placing someone in God's hands is the best place you can leave them. The Only one who knows the beginning and the end of all things. God bless
That's amazing brother
@@DavidRobledo22 Saying , here Lord you take care of them is Not Forgiving someone. Going directly to that person and telling them you forgive them is Forgiveness
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..🙏🏼
Absolutely. “The real trouble about the duty of forgiveness is that you do it with all your might on Monday and then find on Wednesday that it hasn’t stayed put and all has to be done over again.” - C. S. Lewis 🙏🏼 I've found that more often than not, it is a process, and that's okay.
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.
Claire, none of us are mistakes! God’s got purpose for you. I pray that you can forgive, and I pray that your family quits all toxic behavior in comes to repentance.
I believe you. I feel compelled to understand why my parents scapegoated me also. Best I can figure out it’s a bunch of layers of lies. My mom was a serious alcoholic and says now that she never really drank until she was 35, after I left home. I have to admit I don’t understand it. I also have nothing to gain by having a relationship. Can’t bring up the past or ask them for anything. Asking them for anything is just proof I’m not a good son. I don’t hold anything against them but I also am not having them come to me for help like Joseph’s brothers did.
I
I’m facing the same circumstances with mine too. It took me over 50 years to even realize where my shame, pain, hurt, and depression came from. It’s really tough to forgive.
I too experienced this from my mother we will stand strong in Jesus and he will guide us in the right way love over comes everything
Revenged is like quicksand, no matter how careful you are, you keep sinking deeper.
The key to genuine forgiveness is humility. Let go of pride and be humble.
... to the Father in Heaven ❤
You’re so right. Pride is a killer.
Some people only hurt once.
But, some people cause life long hurt
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.
God answers my prayers 😭
I was asking him how will I ever be able to forgive my childhood r*pist and ab*ser, and this popped up on my recommended videos .
Praise him
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...🙏🙌🙏
Prayed for you sister ❤️
I'm so glad it reached you, Carrie. Praise God that He knew what you needed to hear. I'm praying for you 🤍
Is carrieross8987 a real person? What do you think?
Thank you...@@stephanies9128
@CaitTaylor. Thank you..
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.
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.
have been in such a situation. My relationship ended about three years ago, but i could not let her go. So i had to do all i could to get her back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual adviser who helped me bring her back. We are back together, and i must say i am enjoying every moment.
Amazing, how did you get a spiritual counselor, and how do i reach her?
Her name is queen stella laveaux, and she is a great spiritual counselor who can bring back your ex.
Thank you for this valuable information, i just looked her up now online. impressive
God has a better plan for you ❤
The best way to truly forgive someone is to pray for blessings in their lives and ask the Lord to move in their lives.
Amen
A lot of people think forgiveness is letting the person off the hook. It’s not!
It kinda is…
No It's Not, It's You letting yourself off of a Life Time of Sickness and misery.
Forgiveness is paying for someone else’s sin.
@@robnelson6545 what do you mean exactly?
Beautiful sister in Christ! Thank you for this video. I have struggled lately with forgiveness when it comes to a couple of my coworkers who really make me go through hell when I’m on the job. And find myself talking bad about them a lot outside of work. Thank you for reminding me of Joseph, and how all these things that happen to us can be used for God’s glory. Your testimony about you and your dad was very interesting as well. I’m happy for you that you were able to turn the hurt and loneliness of abandonment into a lasting and fulfilling relationship with your father. Indeed, all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose.
God bless you.
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 ❤️
Wow. Ezekiel 36:26 has been my prayer so many times too. I am praying with you today, Stephanie, that God would do a work in his heart. I pray God would bring healing to you and to your relationship. 🙏🏼
@@CaitTaylor Thank you dear sister! We need all the prayers we can get.
People sometimes hurt others because they themselves have been hurt, and are still in pain. Recognizing that helps.
This is what im going thru forgiveness of the betrayal from friends the slander behind my back the stealing and my mothers abuse all my life and the narcissistic attitude with us when she visits using my kids for flying 🐒
Forgiveness does not mean you have to be a doormat for them. You can cut ties, so your children are not affected.
I am honestly so grateful that God put your YT channel in front of me. Your ' HOW TO FIGHT THE ENEMY BACK' video was the first one a watched. And let me tell you... It was sooo good. you teach so gently and passionately at the same time. You are so anointed, and I love what you are doing. So Cait, from Cape Town, South Africa, I love you & i pray God's blessings upon your life. 🥰😊
Thank you so much! 🥹🩷
Your testimony about your Father not being there your whole life until you turned 21 and started meeting him at that point, I can relate too because my Father left me and my twin Sister when we were young and our whole life we were raised and are sill raised by our single mother and It was hard and it still is but not long ago I was saved by God the heavenly Father back in the late months of 2022 and since then God became my Heavenly Father and me and my sister we talk to him from time to time and he visits us sometimes and when he does visit us I don't feel resentment towards him but I'm like he's my earthly father that will never change and funny enough I still want a relationship with him and stays far and he works a lot but you know what I will ask my heavenly Father for help in this situation but your video helped me very much and amazingly enough Almighty God is at the center of it all and glory be to Him , it will be okay.
The real question here is: was that his real choice? Most men won’t abandon their families. But they will stay away if the only option is something like prison from what the feminist ‘mother’ has done. And there’s a LOT of those out there.
Ephesians 4 : 31 - 32
[31]Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.
[32]And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.
The biggest thing that helped me while searching for this "how", was that forgiveness is for you, not for the other person. They still have to face justice/karma. "Forgive them Father for they know not what they do." It's within yourself that you understand the person(s) that wronged you do not truly know the damage they are actually doing to themselves and their spirit. If they realized the consequences, they wouldn't do it. They are spiritually immature, weak minded, and now have to embark on a journey to undo that. It's a cost infinitely worse than anything they could possibly gain in the physical.
Just recently found your channel. This topic is very timely for me.. I've been constantly and badly been hurt by a family member. I really can't focus on doing my school tasks since yesterday as I have been crying it all out to God. Psalm 56:8 is a beautiful reminder that in every situations, not a tear is wasted. God sees it all, God knows our heart and He is just..
All things i have been trough led me to where our Father God needed me to be to use me when I was ready
Oh my.... At the beginning of this week, I preyed to God to help ma and give me tools to forgive those who have hurt me in my life and it especially my younger years. And my God has delivered again. We have such a good Father that always does what's best for us, and this episode just popped up, and I will take this as the beginning of my journey of forgiving. Thank you 🙏❤️
I was thinking this exactly for my story of unthinkable sorrow, shame, and sadness. I am praying that God has a Joseph story for my life and children, too. Please pray that I can walk the path He has for me while I am in the 13 year period. ❤Thank you for so beautifully saying with grace, hope, humility gratitude and joy what God has done for you. I love how He is with you, helping you 24/7. Amen 🙏 🙌 ❤️!
Thank u for this message, I struggle with forgiveness sometimes, but it feels nice to know that God have our backs, and its not up to us to seek revenge against anyone or anything, we just sit back and let God do his thing ❤ and enjoy our lives, getting so much more love from God ❤❤❤ in the name of God I pray, amen❤❤❤
A couple of topics I wouldn't mind hearing your insight on: The MGTOW movement (Men Going Their Own Way) and how to bring Godly men back into being interested in marriage when they see such financial ruin from divorces and family court custody rulings even in Christian marriages.
Also, more insight on therapies to get over childhood PTSD.
Thanks, Bob. Keep up the good work !!
From what I can figure out, a shekel was about 11 grams. And in today's silver market, a gram is priced .86 cents. So they sold him for around $189.20 USD or $286.15 AUD.
Yes the brothers could go buy a decent lunch with that before going home to give the bad news.
Wow!! Really 😭 so sad!
irrespective of our circumstances, if we have God, we have everything that we need.
Your testimony really touched me, I also had a step dad and can relate a lot. Hearing your story gave me hope and confirmation from God. This video was exactly what I needed next 🙏🏼
I'm so sorry that you can relate, but so glad that God's eyes are on you and He knows what you need to hear. I pray before every video that the message would reach the person who needs it most. 🩷
@@CaitTaylor
Well, it seems that God answers your prayer beyond what you ask of Him.
'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 ❤🙏🏽
This past two weeks have been centered around forgiveness.Let's mirror and model who Jesus is!
БОГ
I find it incredibly difficult to forgive relatives the most. Because they know you very well and will use you without any care, consideration or thought at all. Gaslighting you at times too to obtain what is they're desire. For me though i grew up as the invisible child and scapegoat around two narcisstic parents. Two narc parents who committed domestic violence. Manipulated their kids to choose sides. Participated in animal/pet abuse. Both of them are codependent as well. I never want any kids myself or a household of my own i cannot take the chance or putting myself or someone else through what i've experienced. So yeah truthfully i wrestle with doubt, bitterness towards them and grief. Its such a long story but i'll leave it at that.
When you forgive, you are not subjugating your power to others, but to God. When they are still there and you can’t escape them, your forgiveness, and loving your enemies is not emotional, it’s not even being their friend. It’s the parable of the man who was ignored by the roadside. Loving the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind and strength is reserved only for him, and extends to the family of God. Knowing this will free you to know what type of forgiveness and love is given to whom and how. Jesus loved his crucifers, but not in an emotional way. It was in a merciful way, pitying what will become of them
I lost one of my best and most valuable friends that I’ve known for years, last year, by her suddenly cutting me off. My second best friend knew how much that hurt me, because it made me feel like I’m not good enough and I’ve been suffering feeling so insecure ever since, and said he would never do something like this but eventually ended up doing the same thing. This really broke my heart and I’ve been so hurt since 🥺 having difficulty trusting people with my vulnerability because it feels like the second friend used it against me, but also missing them so much at the same time. It’s really taken a bit of softness and playfulness and hope from me, and this video made me realize that maybe I can heal a bit by forgiveness and having hope that everything will turn out the way it should. I still want them back in my life so much, but maybe forgiveness is the fist step
I believe you can reach into a place of forgiveness, once you are healed, and get into a place of balance and power within yourself and in life. And that’s how Joseph reflected on the past events of his life. Forgiveness has its time and place.
YOU are gorgeous!! And the answer is PRAY for people who offend you. Keep praying. Hard to hate anyone you are praying for!
GRACE TO YOU. I JUST FOUND YOU AND APPRECIATE YOUR PASSION FOR TRUTH. PURPOSE IS SUCH A POWERFUL THING, DO NOT GIVE UP. GOODNESS IS AFTER YOUR LIFE. THANK YOU.
We can attempt forgiveness but if they refuse to repent than walk on. Go with a clear conscience you tried to forgive them. Forgiveness always require repentance. Not much we can do after that but its in God's hand.
All I know is, they are still gossiping and slandering everyone around them. Just had to cut that relationship off.
It's important to note that forgiveness and reconciliation are different. Forgiveness is a command from God. We must forgive the person in our hearts, regardless of if they ever repent. Jesus forgave the men who were crucifying Him, while they were doing it! They were certainly not repentant and yet He forgave them anyway. Reconciliation on the other hand, does require repentance. If the person has not repented, it is often best to forgive them in our hearts but maintain a healthy distance. We can forgive what they did and release the bitterness, without allowing them to also cause further damage in our lives.
Well, said Cait. Thank you for articulating the story. Forgiveness is key. The Lord was with him all through the many years of jail. We have a similar story regarding our fathers. I havent seen him since I was 17. I was I was around 39 when i seen him again.
This is, pretty much, what Father has been telling me for decades.
Recently ... as they close in for the kill - He tells me, "I will deal with them."
It was a blessing seeing this. I’m going through a journey of forgiving because it doesn’t feel right to hate and to have what’s going on in my mind on replay everyday about the wrong done to me. I’m doing this to be at peace and see God do his work. He is faithful and he’s on my side.
M truly blessed. I know life wasn't really easy when I had to go through so much but, God never left me bot he counted Evey tears that fall that comforts me. Sister I was also comforted by the same story of Joseph and m still believing the God will lift me up in front of the people who broke me. Amen
Just 7 minutes in, had to rewatch the face you made after „Joseph was well built and handsome” 😂 I really enjoy your calm and lowkey energy, but that playful moment was really sweet!
😂😂😂🤭
The thing is Cait, much as I can understand the story of forgiveness in the Joseph scenario, someone wrote a story about it, which justified his position. It must have been Joseph, which was a way of justifying his life troubles and showed what his brothers had done to him. Without that memoir, no one would know what hell he had been through.
Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.
Another excellent episode most can relate to. Congratulations on your channel gaining a wider audience. I too struggled with forgiveness, and had built a wall of anger and resentment against family and friends. When I was saved, and started reading the Bible, I understood how important it is to forgive, just as our Heavenly Father has forgiven us. I reached out to all ppl I had an issue with, apologized for whatever part I played and offered them unconditional forgiveness, and literally all family and friends responded in a positive way. I now have all back in my life, and I am so grateful. Thank you Cait for sharing your wonderful stories and God's love for all of us. God bless you and all 🙏
Wow. What a beautiful display of humility. Praise God for His ability to restore all things and for your obedience to Him! 🙏🏼
It is easy to live and forget for old lang syng or "forgive them for there trespasses as we forgive those who trespass upon us and lead us not into temptation." Simplicity at its finest everybody messes up sometime. It's kindergarten and/or elementary school teachings (wisdom comes from knowledge and knowledge is key through rememberance) Some days it is raising it to God if it is hard yet still forgiving yourself for your feelings, repent if your thoughts were to evil, and recognizing those were beyond your own control during those trespasses infringed upon you by those others. Some people do not recognize as such. Jesus stated "father please forgive them for they know not what they do." Love thy neighbor as I love you (ten commandments). If this helps :)... Easy listening love it. Great news gods not dead. He was and is and is to come. Keep it coming and going. Amazing work, praise to our heavenly father sister.
Very edifying as I just received a hate comment today about my art and talking behind my back for no mature reason. It was hard but I have prayed to keep Jesus at the forefront and be forgiving, even though I keep thinking about it, I know he will never forsake me. He is for me and will give me the heart to forget and be at peace
I'm so sorry you experienced that, especially to receive hate about something as personal and meaningful as the art you create is so tough. I get hate comments on my content too, the way I deal with it is to try to look at those people with empathy. No happy, successful or fulfilled person is going to leave hate comments on the internet. Desiring to bring someone else down requires a very unhappy state of mind. Also, anyone who is focused on their own passion, creativity and dreams will never try to belittle someone else for doing the same. Only listen to the feedback from people who you'd actually wish to swap places with. If their life doesn't appeal to you, their opinion shouldn't matter either. 🩷
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
― Theodore Roosevelt
Wowwww! Good stuff Cait. Glad you touched on this one. I recently watched a Charles Stanley sermon/episode on forgiveness, shortly after that, saw a priest on RUclips talking about forgiveness (forgive and be forgiven) and now you. Hmmmm….God is talking to me for sure.
I certainly appreciate someone, like myself, that is not afraid to address the white elephant in the room. You certainly have a delicate way of going about it though. Looks like I have some more work and reflection to do on this matter, as I still find myself , in argument in my mind with some of these people that I have so-called forgiven. Forgiving and letting go can be quite a process sometimes. I will continue to process through God and his word. And that scripture of Joseph really helped btw… keep em coming
okay i havent even watched this video yet (i will) but the title and the fact this popped up on my page at the top. God is speaking to me to watch, i literally openly stated that i will forgive my abuser yesterday and then bam here we are.
Your ministry is extraordinary. Thank you
Dear Sister 🙏🏻.
God Almighty bless you and your family abundantly. Thanks for sharing the Word of God.
powerfull..... encountered the story of josef last week...in a book and again this morning here, around 5h00,,, so profound ... love from namibia thank you be blessed///❤💥💥💥💫
I hardly understand English (I am learning now), my native language is Spanish, but today I felt that God spoke to me and without the need to translate, I had already read Joseph's story, but now I see more clearly that I must forgive because that is what God does with me, thank you very much for sharing this video
I’m waking up to the fact that my parent who raised me is a narc. For years they have used our trauma bond and my empathetic nature to manipulate me for money. I’m trying to forgive them... this video helps.
This is an answer to my prayers. I kept saying i forgive them but the bitterness came back time to time. I didn't know HOW to forgive the people who hurt me and took advantage of me. Bless you sister 💝 and praise God for this revelation.
Foregiveness is always possible and is always needed...so is repentance!
I appreciate this video 💜 it’s given me much to consider. Although I was affected in my teens by my former stepmother’s emotional manipulation & her bullying and have been frustrated that she doesn’t seem to have changed her ways or learned anything, I’m aiming to move past those feelings because it’s much more freeing to forgive and accept that any further outcomes from the situation are in God’s hands. Forgiveness isn’t denying that what happened wasn’t OK, it’s moreso letting go of my bitterness and recognising that God has allowed me to learn from the experience in more ways than I previously recognised. And I’m sure God is trying to provide guidance for her whether she’s aware of it or not.
Thank you 😊
I enjoy listening to many different people,on their own contribution of God. Cait you do a great job with this. Forever is with forgiveness. God wants us to turn the other cheek. So we have to learn through scripture and love for prayer 🙏.
Egads girl!!! Ive been struggling with this, God lead me here thru prayer. This is the 1st ive seen you. This was spot on for my life. Thank you so much
I don't want repayment, i just don't want to be around them anymore, but, my situation keeps me from leaving. But, I feel the message saying this isn't forever keep faith. Thanks 🙏
This video was such confirmation for my life😭 I was seeking truly the process/intricacies of forgiveness past just saying it aloud. Romans 8:28 is a scripture I’ve always resonated with, but I’ve been really mediating on it the past few days & nights…..the effect of the name of your pod & how you connected the word back to forgiveness truly was something I could only describe was made possible by Holy Spirit and how I was led to watch. Thank you for your yes to God!💕 May God continue to Bless you and Prosper you🙏🏽 ALL Glory to God in the Most High for miracles, signs, & wonders🙌🏽🤍.
Wow. Very good and true. Not easy. But if we just can become willing to forgive then The Lord will help us through the process of forgiveness. Great video! Thank you and God bless you dear.
🌹
I really needed this to know that no matter what God is always with me
Thank you 😭 I so relate to when you talked about how all the sermons said the same thing. I’ve always known that I should forgive as Christ has forgiven me for everything It can just be hard to do that. This is so true and so good! Thank you! 😊✝️❤️
Cait Taylor, I love your way of being. You are the woman of my dreams. You are the woman I always looked for and couldn't find.
God is doing amazing things through your testimony and podcast! All of Heaven is rejoicing for the hearts and souls you and your podcast have and will go on to impact for His glory! Thank you!
🥹😭 thank you so much 🤍
This is the topic I've been looking for, a nice day to find it, thank you!
Needed this x
Hi Cait! I've come across your Testimony seemingly by accident (😅) and am so encouraged as I see your past life of hurt, pain and brokenness being totally transformed by the power of Jesus Christ! God's great Love, Grace and Mercy are abundant and freely available to all and you are powerfully telling others about how He has transformed you and that he can do the same for them! Thank you and be abundantly Blessed!
God Bless you Cait. Loved It!!
Perfect timing for this. Thank you
Cait, thank you so much! I needed to hear this and be reminded of Joseph! May God continue to bless you!
Thank you, Cait. You're a gem. God bless you.
what an awesome message
I know will sound unrelated, but, please, hear me out...Joseph's story reminds me of what is possibly the second greatest act of forgiveness from God to humanity. I am talking about the Noah story. In fact, I was reading the ark passage in Genesis this morning and this realisation that God chose to forgive humans and not wipe us all away at once even though we were completely evil makes even more sense now. No, actually... Yeah, so the rainbow sign in Genesis 9 proves that God eventually decided to forgive us even though all our thoughts are evil constantly. And, as far as I know, the world hasn't been washed away by another similar flood ever since! 😅 Does God keep His promises? Of course! 😊
I just love how Scripture makes me connect the dots in different ways each time. This is the Holy Spirit at work! Thank you kindly for your work, Cait! ❤😊 I have subscribed to your channel.
So badly needed this!! Thank you!!
This is beyond amazing
Thank you so much for posting this video ❤
Thank you so much for this episode!!!
I needed this - so timely to have found this
I needed this today. Thank you
Another great blessing of a video full of very good Biblical advice from you! I appreciate it a lot! I've struggled with this. I'll have random moments of anger over something someone did to me in the past once in a while and every time I'll try to just let it go and never do it again just for that to come up again at some point in the future I've been working on fulling letting these thoughts of unforgiveness go for a while. May God bless you and your channel so you can help more people with this topic and many others you definitely seem to have a gift for doing this in helpful Biblical ways!
I have found that more often than not, forgiveness is not a one-time thing. It is usually a process and that's okay! 😊
"There is no use talking as if forgiveness were easy. We all know the old joke, ‘You’ve given up smoking once; I’ve given it up a dozen times.’ In the same way I could say of a certain man, ‘Have I forgiven him for what he did that day? I’ve forgiven him more times than I can count.’ For we find that the work of forgiveness has to be done over and over again. We forgive, we mortify our resentment; a week later some chain of thought carries us back to the original offence and we discover the old resentment blazing away as if nothing had been done about it at all. We need to forgive our brother seventy times seven not only for 490 offences but for one offence". - Reflections on the Psalms, C.S. Lewis
@CaitTaylor A lot of wisdom there! Unforgiveness certainly (like a lot of sins) is one of those things that in the moment you feel like it's reasonable to do but if you really just think about it you're benefitting no one by being unforgiving. Even with that knowledge it can be hard to overcome but it's our responsibility to do it so it's definitely very important and I found this video helpful in doing so. I look forward to your next video on another topic because I find your advice truly helpful.
Before I forget... (Where are my manners?...) God bless you! 😊🙏👍
Thank you God, and thank you Cait. I have been blessed.
This was absolutely beautiful!! 🫶🏽❤️🙏🏽
I like listening to your messages. Forgiveness is hard. Just when I think I have forgiven someone something or just a thought will bring the anger back. Anger like so many negative things that happen in our lives the positive reinforcement can be found in Scripture. I like how you reference scripture throughout your lesson. Thank You and God Bless you.
Thank you needed this 🙏🏿
Thank you. I watched this after my morning prayer. I do struggle with forgiveness. I can relate with your description of walking around the garden. His will not mine be done.
Thank you for sharing the message. God Bless you!
