To expound on 2 praise God’s comment
“I think when we learn to forgive others, not only does God promises to forgive us, but we become free. Free from bondage and free from anything else that may compromise our relationship with God.”
That bondage includes freedom from hurts, and insecurities, and begins the unconditional Love that God shows us… Since I moved with my dad at 8 yrs old i was abused, both verbally and physically. When I met my mom shortly after i moved with my dad, she would invite us to spend time with her, then stand me and my brothers up. These things hurt, but The more God put it on my heart to forgive, the more i acted on it, the more God began to remove pain from the past experiences…He began to show me what happened wasn’t my fault, but I was a victim to situations that it helped to shape my destiny, and turned my Victimhood into Victory!
I have a healthy relationship now with my mother, and me and my father have a good non abusive relationship, which we’re working on. He’s coming around to being loving and supportive as well! God’s at work in both of their lives!
I love my Mom and Dad and they love me too, and are showing it more now.
