Helping me move one step further along the continuum of forgiveness

Dual – 1) how much God loves and values me; 2) God’s take on justice versus the common, damaging teaching that forgiveness and justice are mutually exclusive – that is, that we must forgive without any sense of justice

Wednesday morning–Wednesday Evening

I went from hating my perpetrator, wanting them to feel the pain and shame that they put me through. That was Wednesday morning. By Wednesday evening I had so much peace for them.

This was a wonderful experience

Thank you! This was a wonderful experience and it helped me to also reflect on my wrong doings to others. I was able to sit and cry out to God Thank you!

“Such Good News!”

“To be able to come before this celestial judge and to hear from him that my case has been heard and to know that he’s heard the damage those crimes have done, and that restoration is possible is such good news!”

“…reinforced my belief in the justice of God”

This reinforced my belief in the justice of God. I know that I don’t need to have retribution in this life to be happy. But I know this will occur because God will take care of it…Thank you for this resource.

“Opportunity to cry and cry out…”

This gave me opportunity to cry and to cry out deeply from years of holding it in, keeping it safe, without embarrassment or shame.

“In that hour…my life changed!”

In that hour and over the following weeks my life changed. I got my hearing. I got my day in court. I got the justice I longed to have.

“Most of the bitterness is gone…”

“Going through the Forgiving Path helped me to see and understand that forgiveness was not an event, but rather an ongoing process… I can say that most of the bitterness is gone and though I still experience grief once in a while, the shackles of unforgiveness no longer ensnare me.

“I have been healed of a very deep crime.”

“I didn’t even know I was so wounded–but I see how it colored my ‘view’ of the world. Already I have noticed a different view of myself. I see God’s restoration and healing. I see that I have been healed of a very deep crime.”

Why doesn’t God step in and do something?

It isn’t fair! …Why doesn’t God step in and do something? We discover counter-intuitive yet proven answers along the Forgiving Path. The Path offers real, tangible, substantive steps toward fairness and forgiveness. Who knew? Highly recommended.
