I have a question.
I have a problem with my father and I have forgiven him, but there's still hurt there. I don't know how to get totally over it. Somehow it's stuck in my psyche.
How do you forgive and still have a hurt?
I'm talking on my face before YHVH forgiving.
It's weird and I know I have to overcome this.
Not harboring anger, but there's still hurt.
Thoughts?
Quoting: Fluffy Pancakes For me, it would kind of depend on how "recent" the hurt began.
"The deeper the wound - the longer it takes to heal."
I simply refuse to let hurt "rule over" me.
I learned at a young age that people can do or say very cruel things.
The resulting hurt can lead to bitterness and even hate.
Some folks will say "forgive but NEVER forget".
But it's also easy to see that the more a person dwells on something, it takes away time that could be spent on more productive thoughts and actions - the Father's Will.
The more time you spend doing and saying "good things" - the less time you will have to dwell on hurt etc...
I hope you aren't offended by what I just daid.
