You have questions or disagreements with this video? Above is the link to the new video answering those issues.
"Pardoning doesn't mean you have to let them back in." Thanks for that validation, something I have been thinking.
“Who is going to put a burden on you to do more than Christ” what a line. That’s the whole argument right there.
Forgiveness doesn’t mean reconciliation.
Seems half assed
@@jasonwoods2802may seem that way but sometimes that’s the way it is while here on earth
Exactly. In our part. It doesn’t have to. But God forgives forever and completely. He cannot even see your sin at all. He sees the blood of Christ. He sees that imputed righteousness given to us Romans 2 talks about. He sees His son’s righteousness when He looks at a saved soul. It’s a forgiveness we cannot understand or give. Jesus says love your enemies and pray for them. I guess we need to pray for all these politicians lol 😂
true
@@jasonwoods2802how is that half-assed if somebody did you wrong and would do it again you would be a fool to go back for seconds and thirds forgiveness releases your soul of a burden they'll still carry theirs because they will never change forgiveness does it mean being a fool and going back for more
Sir I am a Hindu from India. Been your subscriber for I dont know how many years. Every time I watch your video, I realise how common are the principles of morality in Christianity and Hinduism. I really think that the religious people from all over the world should come together without any attempt to impose their faiths on others. Once we embrace our religious differences and unite with what we believe is moral, we can make our society great and just
best comment ive read in a while. love you
@@Str8OuttaFrayser919 Thankyou :) really appreciate it! Glad to find like-minded people!
Religion and state are separated for a reason. But good luck
@@HelloKittySGTC I am not talking about merging. Rather I am referring to more engagement. Religion and state strongly influenced each other.
@@adityaganjoomechHellokitty is a troll
As someone who has spent to many years “letting go” this monologue was refreshing.
🎉
Same man it changed my whole wiew on the topic
I have struggled with this forgiveness issue for decades now. I am a 66 yr old Christian who has been wronged by three individuals in my life. Family members tell me I should just forgive them and move on, but I know that none of them acknowledges their wrongdoing. This is the greatest clarification I have heard yet! Thankyou.
I divorced my wife 3 years ago. She was impossible to live with. She got hooked on oxycodone and it radically changed her personality. Last spring she died from a heart attack. Now I feel I should have tried harder to get her help and I should have stayed with her. The load of guilt I carry is heavy and unbearable. I do not sleep thru the night anymore. 2:30am is when the demons come to torture me. I have noone to blame but myself and nowhere to go for forgiveness. I guess that I deserve it.
@@sqd37ldang I’m sorry for you
@@Taylor-ge5ex if you get a chance, please pray for me, thanks
"there is no answer greater than silence, and no punishment greater than forgiveness"

Your an interesting guy for sure,,I ENJOY YOUR POINT OF VIEW AND STYLE
😂
I LOVE THIS MEME
18:01 "Control your emotions, but don't carry the burden of having to forgive the unforgivable."
Powerful stuff sir. Thank you 👏👏
God says that everyone is forgivable. Are we above God? Who are we to judge that a person is unforgivable when God is clear when he said ALL can be forgiven?
@Nomadestra your argument is did I say that anyone was unforgivable. I said forgiveness is earned by asking for it and confessing that you have done wrong. We take our example from God, as his approach is the same way. You are forgivable and redeemable, but you do not receive that forgiveness or that redemption unless you ask for it.
@DryCreekWranglerSchool If by asking for forgiveness, you mean you have to forgive first and foremost, I agree. God didn't say you get forgiveness merely by asking for it. You have to seek and attain the ability to forgive others before you earn the right to be forgiven. Now, it doesn't mean you have to hunt down everyone who has done you wrong and forgive them. Rather, love and forgiveness are cut from the same cloth, and you have to make both a permanent part of your soul in order to be forgiven by God.
No, when I say “ask for forgiveness” I literally mean “ask for forgiveness“. I myself and my guy that generally says exactly what he means. It means exactly what he says. You are twisting everything around and ignoring what I am saying, and giving everything different meanings. You are putting your own definition into everything and ignoring what is literally being said. There is no way to have a logical, honest discussion like this.
@DryCreekWranglerSchool I'm not twisting words. You and I just have different ideas about what God meant when he was talking about forgiveness. I don't think he meant simply ask, and the scripture pretty much answers that. Forgive, and ye shall be forgiven. God won't forgive you your sins until you yourself are ready to forgive all who trespassed on you. A lot of Christians don't get this, and go around judging people all day long. You can not simply live with bitterness in your heart, and then ask for forgiveness every night before bed. God sees that fakeness in a person's heart for what it is.
I've never heard forgiveness explained better. Thank you
God bless you this was cathartic. There's a huge difference between forgiving someone and letting go of what they've done to you. Thank you for putting it beautifully
At 69 years old, that’s the best piece of understanding I’ve heard.
I’m right behind you, and am overwhelmed by the simplicity of wisdom that is clear in scripture, but this is a first for me. I couldn’t be more grateful.
Yes i agree at 63 !!!
Ditto at 67😂 Heck, I had to repeat it! 🤯
I have been pissed off at someone for a while. These words help to cope
Thank you
I never thought of biblical forgiveness like that and it honestly makes complete sense
The only way to truly understand it is to go and forgive your mother and father. The only way to learn forgiveness is to forgive those who are closest to us, and therefore who affected us the most. No parent is a perfect parent, so all of our parents did things that directly and indirectly did harm to us. You need to forgive your mother first for turning us away from the father.
@@Nomadestrai'm sorry but i don't think it's fair to say either parent is chiefly responsible. it depends on every person
This forgiveness issue took me a lot of years to get right. I landed on this….. A wrong is done, be willing to forgive IF asked, what makes the waiting bearable for me is this; God knows, he SEES, he understands every bit of it perfectly and he says “Vengeance is mine”. SO, SINCE MY HEAVEN FATHER has it, I leave it to him. He has this and revenge is in his hands not mine. Now what is up to me is to forgive as I want to be forgiven…. If they repent, forgiven just like you said. The restoration of our relationship is up to me, and I base that on my judgement of their repentance and future actions. Does their walk match the talk? As always sir, I appreciate your great perspective and telling it true!
Never thought that a person from across the globe will help me so much, thank you, and greetings from Hungary.
When God makes His miracles, anything is possible
Amen Brother! I came to the same conclusion addressing this topic about five years ago, nothing compares to God's truth:) Thank you for continuing with "Tack Room Bible Talk" The first video of yours that I watched was about regrets; you have great wisdom. Blessings to you and yours.
You are 100% correct. Thank you for explaining this Truth with such great clarity, Dwayne. You have given me the words to explain the dilemma of forgiving someone who is repeatedly decietful or cruel without apology, and who aparently counts on victims to let things go.each time. The only answer is to let it go and walk away, with willingness to forgive if and when forgiveness is asked for. The hardest part is learning to stay out of harm's way!
I really enjoy these longer videos. I’m a young man in a pretty rough spot in life right now and your advise and wisdom always seems to change the way I think on a lot of stuff.
Don’t forgive the unforgivable. God bless you sir. I’ll never forget that statement. No truer words were never spoken.
No, you should, though. It's not up to us to judge who is forgiven or not. If you can't love your enemy, then you can't love a single person.
Forgiveness is just not letting them have control over you anymore
@@NomadestraHow can I forgive someone who wrongs me and then they repeat the same thing AND as well they do the same thing towards others? Seems unforgivable in my eyes. No way in hell I’d forgive someone who does those dirty actions. If they really want forgiveness then they’ll have to earn it and prove themselves that they want forgiveness. How I see it, forgiveness is earned.
Amen!!! Thank you for this message. As a child, I endured all kinds of abuse at the hands of my family. For over 50 years, many Christians have told me that I had to forgive them or I would go to hell. Yes, that adds a terrible burden to the victim - so much so that I turned away from God for many years. Recently God gave me the very answer that you outlined in your video - that God forgives those who ask for forgiveness. It's the same for those who wronged us here on earth. No one who abused me ever asked me for forgiveness so God told me it was ok for me to let them go. God bless you for sharing this word.
Precious ♥
Forgiveness in Greek is the word 'aphiémi' it actually means, (like you just said you let them go) send away, let go, release. :)
You are a breath of fresh air. I love you like a grandfather. Please keep on getting your content out there. It means the world to some of us.
I'm drinking my coffee too and having my morning smoke listening to some good wisdom ☕💨😌
my morning smoke is no joke!
This meant everything to me. Thank you.
Tk u sir always good listening to you! This world needs more people like you. God bless🙏🏻
Agree with you this talk was from the heart. I am so grateful for all Dewayne and Momma both compassionately share.
Once again, speaking words that I need to hear. Thank you you’re a good man.
When you explain it the way you have makes a lot of sense and is the right way. Makes more peaceful sense to me
Thank you Mr. Dwayne. This was the exact lesson I needed today. God bless and keep you and yours.
Dewayne, I have been through this many times. I have realized this exact same truth years ago and have never met someone who believes the same.
It’s the truth and it has set me free.
Thank you sir for sharing.
Thanks for sharing brother, I was in great turmoil regarding this. I prayed for an answer and then I found your video.
"people don't understand what we're trying to do here!" 👏🏾 👏🏾
Another great video, thank you... I learned from this. I have an older brother that did me wrong years ago. What you said will help me..
Both Judgement and Forgiveness return in the same measure and portion as given... 🙌🏼 Amen
The older one becomes it's perspective that measures trials and tragedy as blessings because they know first hand how the Lord works ALL for GOOD, in TIME
This is ABSOLUTELY correct.
I have always agreed with you on this. It is much easier to walk away from those who are unwilling to repent. You can not force forgiveness down someone’s throat
You're looking at it wrong. Forgiveness is for you, not for the person you're forgiving. It matters not if they accept it or not. It has to be something you fully accept with all your heart. Until you see it this way, you don't know how to forgive, and God won't forgive you. Let it all go.
@@Nomadestra chapter and verse please, God and Jesus forgive those that repent. Forgiveness is for the offender not the offended. Just walk away till they are ready to repent
@Sandppy Forgiveness is not something you give to somebody else. Those are just words and thoughts that the other person receives. Forgiveness has to come from a specific state of mind that is at peace with the world, themselves, and God. For instance, you can forgive someone who has done you wrong even if they don't accept it or even don't hear you say it. It's something you yourself come to terms with. Not anybody else. You can forgive a dead relative for doing you wrong. They don't have to be alive for you to tell them. You're too hung up on what the Bible says, or where you've heard that info from. God is within. God even says in the Bible not to worship knowledge and thoughts, which is what people are doing when they thump the Bible with scripture quotes. You don't need to read and quote the Bible to have an understanding of everything that is taught in it.
@@Nomadestra look up the definition of forgiveness, it is exactly something that one person gives to an offender. Letting go of something you so for yourself. Definitions matter, because if we cannot agree on the definition of words then we cannot communicate.
Yes God, if there was a no higher authority that you or me then there is no actual way to measure good and bad, there is only personal feelings and that my friend is what is wrong with the world today
@Sandppy Those are just words and thoughts to the person being forgiven verbally. It means nothing if your heart isn't in it. That's what I'm saying. And if your heart isn't full of love and forgiveness for ALL people, you don't truly know how to forgive. The majority of so called Christians lack this logic and judge people til the cows come home. If you have bitterness and resentment in your heart towards anyone at all, you are not yet capable of truly forgiving anybody. If you don't love all, you love nobody.
I agree with this. Makes perfect sense to me. Thanks for this message
This was a message that I needed to hear. Thank you.
This helps so much in my life. You couldn't have posted this at a better time for me. Thank you.
I really appreciate your videos.. tbis one is especially helpful to me because I have been grappling with a devastating family betrayal, scapegoating and estrangement, while I am currently still living in their house... I have spoken my truth many times, but yet not ONE.. of these people have owned up or apologized. At this point , I don't really expect anything anymore, but trying to move on while they act as if nothing happened ( 4/5 years in of this after recognizing the abuse) I forgive them because they are family, BUT... My heart will NEVER, NEVER be the same. I don't want to even be around them. Trying to rebuild myself in the midst of this has been THE WORST EXPERIENCE in my life. I am working hard every day to separate myself from them. But thanks for easing some of my burdens. ❤
Thank you for sharing your wisdom, Papa Dwayne, I am one of the few people who decides to forgive others as a good Christian and from you I learned that we can easily walk away from problems, especially those who do not value us, so as not to live a life with bitterness ♥
This blew my mind! Been watching these videos awhile and subbed after watching this one because WOW that was good.
Dewayne, as fate would have it.
This is what I needed to hear this afternoon.
Thank you so much, brother. Good wishes and blessings to you and mama.
Likewise!!!

Same here! This ol cowboy dude is one of the best things thats ever happened to me☺️

Wow this is such a useful topic very applicable for me and my situation. Thankyou for your sharing of wisdom
I will come back to this video many times
Much needed & right on time thank you!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🕊️🕊️🕊️❤️❤️❤️. Give Momma a hug please 🫂🫂🫂
There are so many verses about forgiveness, but my favorite is probably Ephesians 4:32: "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."
Forgiveness is made difficult when one regards themselves too highly, whether or not they know it. Forgiveness is made easier when you love Christ and lean on His grace and mercy. I'm speaking from my own experience, from times of unforgiveness and holding grudges. Thanks for the message, brother Dewayne.
Yes, forgive and you will be forgiven.
Paul’s a heretic.
@@celtdawg01 if you’re saying that the Paul of the Bible is a heretic, that’s blasphemy, scripture is inspired by God and by saying that someone in the Bible wasn’t right, you are saying that God isn’t right and that is very scary
I care. I’ve been wronged. After hearing this I will never forget it. Thank you for the wisdom sir 🙏
This was so deeply helpful. I have been betrayed twice in my life in a way that was extremely brutal and painful…I struggled to forgive and felt the burden to do so. This perspective puts me at ease and lifts my spirit in a way that I needed, especially right now 🙏 Thankyou. It’s time to let go.
Thanks for this explanation. I never looked at it this way but it makes a lot of sense. I have struggled with forgiving someone that has never asked for forgiveness. I just won't worry about it anymore.
Excellent - I needed that today. Thank you!
Not forgiving is what leads us to not forgetting. And not forgetting is what makes us prepare to not allow the same mistake to happen again.
I personally believe that it is possible to forgive without forgetting, and that is what I strive for. If what happened was bad enough, it would be impossible to forget anyway.
Forgiving us not forgetting, i can still remember what happened but i forgive you for it
@@VelvetAura This is actually how it should be done. You can forgive any one including yourself, doesn't mean you completely let go of the responsibility from the person who it came from. They did something to you or you did something to yourself. Integrity and accountability is paramount. Why hold a grudge? The energy has no where to go until it's forgiven. Stuck energy is being created leading to disease: dis...ease, lack of flow. The body will eventually manifest these held grudges physically in relevant areas related to whatever the grudge was about. Forgive appropriately, carry no future burden with it, let that go to the universe, and archive it in your own memory.
Yes arent we supposed to stay away from evil and not have sympathy for the devil.
@@jeanmarie19 people who harm others aren't always inherently evil and this is a reductive way of looking at things
Thanks Dewayne! I needed this today.
Dwayne, what a wonderful lesson, thank you! You’re making distinctions between, forgive and pardon and let go. I never thought of it like this. I never thought of it so thoroughly as you have. Those are three completely Albeit related independent different actions / choices.. Going forward, I will concentrate on letting go. Whether the offender approaches me with an apology, or not is out of my control. I don’t have to rely on that person’s for me to let it go. And for me to let it go is what’s in my best interest, for my mental and spiritual health. Both of which affect my physical health. Great lesson, Sir! Please keep them coming.
I’ve had an ex fiancé, just stop communicating, created distance and eventually walked away. I forgave myself for ever taking the time for her, and wished her the best. I left the rest up to the strings of fate and wheels of time, to take care of the rest.
God bless you brother, stay safe and strong
I agree with you, 100%.
I have been struggling so much with not letting the seed of bitterness be planted in my spirit lately. I needed this message today so much and I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thanks to you and to your wife for these videos! I know they bless people even if those people don't say anything to acknowledge it.
what you said Wayne is indeed biblical. Whether a person asks us for forgiveness or never does, either way we can always 'leave it with God' to right it someday and move on. One thing that helps me, I stole from 'The Imitation of Christ' is and I paraphrase "its better to reflect on what others suffer of me, than on what I suffer of others." I have not been completely harmless in my life.
this changed my entire perspective on this subject i've never seen it this way. the way you explained this was so perfect and made so much sense thank you
Ex-Girlfriend cheated on me last week… one of my close friends knew about it the entire time aswell. Ex girlfriend lied about everything for months, faith, future, purity, it’s hard to forgive but for me forgiving her for that is letting it go. God sent Christ to die for my sins so why shouldn’t I forgive hers. She doesn’t deserve my forgiveness, and neither do I deserve the Lord’s.
And you shouldn’t be having sex outside of marriage
@@michaelschneider9305 I never slept with her, I am still a virgin
This meant a lot... really shifted me to the right path! ❤
Matthew 6:14-15
"For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly father will also forgive you.
But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your father forgive your trespasses".
It’s scary how many people are agreeing that forgiveness is not required of us.
We can't take one verse and run with it. We need to see forgiveness throughout the whole scriptures to understand what it means and how to do it. The verse quoted above doesn't dismiss what Dwayne said. It adds more richness to his points.
@@lauracochran3213Forgive them Father for they don’t know what they do.” He was living example of true forgiveness till the end.
@@azimuth4850 We receive forgiveness from the Lord by forgiving others, regardless if they admit to them or not. Jesus didn’t ask those that were casting lots on his clothing to ask for forgiveness, he simply forgave them. Nothing needed of them. We don’t have to condone that act, but we can forgive the individual. They might deny God in themselves or others, but we don’t have to deny God in them, because they didn’t verbally tell us they are sorry. Maybe they spoke to God directly, are we to judge and condemn because they didn’t say it to our face?We don’t know, thus we forgive to be free, to let go of the burden on our heart. That doesn’t mean we don’t have boundaries, or allow others to continue to disrespect us. We just don’t keep secret judgments and resentments inside us. Love, blessings, and peace be with you.
🙏🏼❤️🔥🕊️
@@revolutionofbeing5055 John 20:23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”
Thank you for these words Dewayne!
Wayne, I did a lot of searching after you posted this and I find verses by the same disciple where Jesus instructs us to forgive “everyone” (Luke 11:4). Also another disciple says “anyone” in Mark 11:25.
Both of these are while we are praying to God and, therefore, not when someone comes and asks us.
That verse in Mark says we need to “forgive, if you have ANYTHING against ANYONE, SO THAT your Father who is in heaven WILL ALSO FOREGIVE YOU for your offenses.” (my caps - no italic option on YT)
I am very concerned for all the people in the comments who seem relieved that they don’t have to forgive certain people.
I have had to forgive many people for many things. When I learned an effective process of forgiveness (which requires holding the person accountable, and does not require me to trust them again) it was not a burden. It was my ticket to freedom from bitterness and resentment and anger. More importantly it puts me in a place, according to these verses, where God can forgive me for my wrongs.
You say that forgiveness is "to pardon". I agree, and In Luke 6 Jesus spends a lot of time talking about blessing and praying for our enemies (enemies are not likely to ask us to forgive them) and He ends by saying “pardon, and you will be pardoned” (Luke 6:37).
At the very least I think you need to acknowledge these verses (instead of saying “you got nothing” and I’m right”) so people will know that there is another side of the argument to consider before they potentially shut themselves off from God’s forgiveness.
Yeah you're right. You are 1,000% right. Thank You for verbalizing this so well. I kinda needed to hear this, man, this helped me. (along with the regrets video)
I've been smoking cigars for over 30 years. I have stopped for 4 months. Now, I see Dewayne smoking a cigar. I'm glad he said what he is smoking, the Partagas Red Label. I went and bought a few of those cigars. I haven't tried it yet, but hopefully, I'll get to try it tonight. 😊
I have been trying to forgive in the last 20 years. I would love to just put this burden down. I hope that your insight will help me
Every human thinks their burden is the heaviest.
Like being in the center and everything happening around you. But is this really a truth and if so, to what degree ?
Dwayne, to me, is 100% right on this. There is a big difference between forgiving someone of their trespasses, and moving past the anger and pain of being wronged.
There are those in my life who have wronged me, whom I have forgiven when a sincere apology was offered. I have been forgiven of wrongs, myself, under the exact same circumstances.
Others, who have done me horrible wrongs, will never apologize, because they are unwilling to acknowledge that any wrong or harm was done. I cannot forgive them.
But I also can't dwell on the anger and hurt caused by that wrongdoing. Doing so only poisons me, and does not affect them at all.
You don't have to forgive, to move on. But, it's best for your well-being to move on, regardless. And if someone sincerely tries to make amends, it is always best to forgive, whether you keep them in your life or not. Either way, do what's healthiest for you.
Dewayne, I love this video and it really helped me understand forgiveness. ❤
You are God sent.. thank you so much this message is for me...
I've worked as a pastor for several years and I 100% agree with you. We have really lost the actual meaning and biblical process of forgiveness. Thanks for the insight and video.
I needed this. Thank you.
I know them and some times they talk to me I love it it when they do.
Thank you Sir. As always, Honored to listen. Thank you, Sir.
Man this has come at a timely point… There is a few people in my past who did me great wrong and never actively asked for forgiveness about it. I carried that burden to this day, thinking that somethings wrong with me and in my heart. And to be honest, there still is anger and fear when I remember what happened. But this message hit the bulls eye. Thank you for showing me that I don’t have to bear that burden anymore.
Good thoughts. Forgiveness is like taking a burden and putting it somewhere else. The Lord Jesus gave his life to pay for our burden of sin but until we come to him and ask for that forgiveness, we carry that burden. When we trust him, he take the burden and gets rid of it.
When other have wronged us and come ask forgiveness, we take that burden from them but you are very right about the neutral ground. Lost trust in another takes time to rebuild.
When someone hurts us and isn’t sorry or doesn’t care, we can give that burden to the Lord Jesus. He never says it doesn’t matter but we can let it go to him. We can trust him because he loves us and he will carry that burden for us and will eventually deal with that person far better than we could. Sometimes it’s moment by moment rather than just a onetime asking, but is the only way to not carry the damage of bitterness ourselves.
You’ve just opened my eyes to forgiveness. It only makes sense that the victim is not the transgressor. Thank you
One of the best videos on TH-cam! Thank you Sir.
Amen. This is something I've always felt my whole life. I never believed that i had to pardon a individual that has gaslighted me after they wronged me. I don't believe that they have a free pass on what they done to me. I am always told the verse though, if you don't love your neighbor you don't love God. That scripture is not the same thing though. Again amen brother.
Mr. Dewayne’s videos always seem to find me when I need them the most. Thank you sir.
I really needed this. Thank you
Whenever I have felt astray in my young adult life, your videos have guided me with thoughtful wisdom. Many thanks, friend, for sharing yourself and your philosophies.
I agree with your perspective on this ! Great points.
I can forgive, but they would have to earn my trust.
as they should for losing it…
Last night I was asking about forgiveness. This morning this pops up on my feed. I think I've seen one of your videos like a year ago but then never again since.. I'm just now starting to dive into religion and I'm asking a lot of questions, kinda wrestling with god in a way.. your take on forgiveness was exactly what I needed to hear. Thanks
Thank you very much for this words. Good to hear this from you. It‘s a big help for me. I can see clearly now. God bless you and your Family!
You have a way of making me feel as though a beloved elder is speaking to me. And i flat out cant thank you enough for that.. the worlds needs more of that.
Thank you Dwayne. I read on, meditated on, spoken to counselors and pastors on this subject but nothing has ever resonated like you're understanding. You are a gift to humanity. Much Love
one of the failures of the english language is we cannot communicate the essential difference between forgiving the man and forgiving his actions. the latter has nuance but it is the measure of a man of how much he can do the former.
I hadn't felt touched by such wisdoms until this guy popped up in my feed, I'm grateful to have stumbled on this video, and I hope more people can feel as overjoyed as I, by The insights this man radiates
I love listening to you. You explain things the way my father did. You are a blessing to me. Thank you. Video of forgiveness
I agree with you. I have had my fair share of problems and have had my adversaries. my ma would tell me to let it go and forgive. its not worth having that in your heart. and you know i think she is right about not letting that stick with you. but i am not so sure about forgiving everyone for yourself. because i have tried. i think i have at least and when i look back on it, it hurts still. i always found it hard to forgive people. maybe because they never asked for it.
My uncle once told me that my mom said to him he needs to forgive his sisters for what the did to him and he told her that's not my job, that's God's job. I'm the youngest of 8 daughters and three of my sisters have done me very wrong. And I keep those same words in my head. I can't forgive them, only God can. And they've never asked for any forgiveness.
This was immediately helpful!! I prayed about this exact situation this morning, and I feel so much relief. It was right there the whole time. 😅
i hadnt seen your videos popping up and i thought u stopped uploading. but just as im going through trauma from betrayal and second guessing forgiveness for this person, this exact video popped up. and it was exactly what i needed to hear. thank you, your videos and your wisdom is what's keeping me from ending it all. from a stranger to another, you dont know how much youve helped me.
seek God my friend, his love and light will strengthen you and not forsake you. you’re not alone in this. much love and God bless ❤
Thank you for this message, Dewayne. I needed to hear this and have always thought this way, but never find anyone who sees it this way. This was healing to hear from you.
This has been something that has caused my mind to feel conflicted over the past few days. This video popped up on my home page today and I am so grateful that it did. Thank you for the message ❤
Well, I forgave my step father for years of abuse and he never asked for it. I never told him I did, I forgave him because it was holding me back.
How can you hold all that pain? Just cause you forgive doesn't mean you gotta go crawling back to em.
