What You'll Learn:
Swirling in place, constantly bound to a particular moment in time—this is a feeling all of us experience in the face of a traumatic wrong, or a seemingly unforgivable hurt. In the presence of our turmoil, we either give in to our pain or attempt to unwind the strings of suffering ourselves. Neither method works. Your past simply leaks into your present, infecting everything with its sting. Biblical forgiveness forces pain into the light, initiating healing through an individual choice to follow God’s peace. Bestselling author Lysa Terkeurst explores the reality of forgiveness in the Bible and its impact on her own life, teaching us how to grow in God’s healing and start living in a way that loosens binds of hurt from our souls and reinvigorates our reality with peace.
Key Insights:
- Forgiveness is individual: Healing is between you and God, no one else.
- Pain expands in silence. Write it down and speak it out.
- Use your emotions as a barometer, not a compass.
- Limits are healthy—they allow you to bring your best to a relationship and to the process of forgiveness.
- We can’t grab God’s peace, but we can open our hands to receive.
