  • With God’s help you can forgive those who have wounded you and live a life of freedom.
    In this one-day “Focus on the Family” broadcast, Jim Daly and John Fuller talk with Deborah Pegues about her book, Forgive, Let Go and Live. She shares her story of growing up in an abusive home where a spirit of unforgiveness plagued her parents. This impacted her life and her marriage until a mentor came alongside her and encouraged her to release bitterness.
    She shares what forgiveness is and is not, practical ways people can begin the forgiveness process, and the rewards of having a forgiving spirit.

    False accusations from family members is one of the worst pains. Thankfully we have God to help us forgive.

    In a culture where “trauma” recognition is heightened, forgiving and letting go is appropriate!

    The Western world’s cultural values in general are justice and guilt, The Middle East and parts of Asia are honor and shame and the African countries are fear and power. The Bible has all of these cultural values in them so depending on your context we can change the terminology. This is vital when we share the Gospel.

    Wow. She is so correct. I was a pleaser and a doormat for decades. My toxic person? My own mother.
    A long time ago, she started criticizing me, literally wagging her finger in my face, I think your eyebrows look fake - even though she died her hair, wore wigs for decades, had an affair on our bio father and her 2nd husband.
    Then he and she committed a Felon against me a few years ago by stealing my SUV right after my 1st of 7 full and partial toe amputations.
    I was recovering in a SNF, a Skilled Nursing Facility. She grabbed my keys and started walking away. I yelled, MOTHER, DON'T DO THIS! down the hall, disturbing every one in the hallwa, but she proceeded to steal my SUV, which was running on just water in the radiator, the heater core was dead, and the engine could have own up in transport, almost an hour away to their place. She is a bull in a China closet for dictating, running all over people, she knows best, wagging her finger at me - when I was 55 years old? Huh??!??
    It had occurred to me that "she's not healthy for me", in 1997. Toxic might be a better word, in summation.
    It's sad... she'll be 82 this year. She has alienated my 4 sibs and many others against me because I call her on things, gracefully, from my heart to hers.
    She's right, you're/we are wrong.
    It's sad, but I am a much happier person just staying away from her/them. Tragic.

      Thank you for sharing, Deborah. Relationships with those closest to us can be the hardest of all, and we know there are others who can relate. Dr. Henry Cloud has a great book called Changes that Heal for those who need healing from painful relationships (bit.ly/2Rmk0hI), and our counselors are here to give one-on-one encouragement (800-A-FAMILY). God bless you, Deborah. Thanks again for sharing.

    • @pleadfive658
      @pleadfive658 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      My mother is the same way. Toxic an yet I know she doesn’t have long on this earth. Each time I leave I plead the blood of Christ to heal my heart of pain.

      I have had my own share of a narcissistic mom throughout my life. You end up having to love this person / or family members from a distance. Very sad that it has to be this way. You are right;. you have to distance yourself from them. It's the only way to be set free and to escape toxic personality issues.
