SEASON 2 EPISODE 7: SEEKING FORGIVENESS - How Difficult is It to Find Forgiveness

<p><strong>SEASON 2 EPISODE 7:</strong></p> <p><strong>SEEKING FORGIVENESS - How Difficult is It to Find Forgiveness</strong></p> <p>Hello Everyone. Today I will be presenting one of the most challenging topics that, over time, I've incorporated into a dozen or more of my novels… FORGIVENESS.</p> <p>I can't seem to wrap my mind around just how in the world people find forgiveness… How do you let go of grudges? How do you let go of bitterness?</p> <p>When someone you care about hurts you, you can hold on to anger, resentment, and thoughts of revenge — or embrace forgiveness and move forward.</p> <p><strong>What about those cases where </strong>YOU<strong> have hurt someone? The first thing I learned was to admit that you have hurt another person.</strong> As painful as it is, you need to come to the place where you accept the fact that you're guilty… and stop right there with no excuses. &nbsp;Asking someone to forgive you requires a broken heart and a willingness to repair the damage you have done. It's not just saying, "Forgive me," if you think I happened to have done something wrong. You need to understand the amount of pain you have caused, and step up to the plate and accept responsibility for it.</p> <p>This is so true in my Novel <a href="https://books2read.com/u/bw29eZ"><strong>"Faith – Seventy Times Seven," </strong></a>when my Grandmother, who was called by God to preach at 17 years of age, lived for twenty some odd years with an alcoholic, abusive husband. Then, during the turn of the century, she had a place under a large black walnut tree 4 miles outside Mansfield, Louisiana, where she went and asked for forgiveness for the man that almost destroyed their entire family in the early 1900s.</p> --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. <a href="https://anchor.fm/app">https://anchor.fm/app</a> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sidneystjames/message
