    I struggled so much with forgiveness and when i got married it was difficult because in marriage you have to constantly forgive, i learnt that i must forgive even before an offence comes. The Lord ministered to me and said read 1 Samuel 1 the story of Alkanh and wives (Hannah and Peninah). Hannah looked to God and not the hurt Peninah saying to her even though she had a right to keep offence and God blessed her. We can't keep offence and yet seeking God with our own hearts, our hearts is a place for God and place for our blessings, how can blessings come when our hearts are full of people. Thank you.
  • This came at the right time. My neighbor who i thought was a friend gossip so badly about me when I was the one drying her tears when she was down and out. I pray the lord can give me the grace to say hi and bye and go on about my day.

    Constantly asking God to help me to forgive. Keeping a record of wrongs is my weakness. God has forgiven me for a lot but I find it hard to let go of the hurt some people have put me through 😩

    I always love when Stephanie Ike speaks. Such soft-spoken, biblical wisdom! She, along with many others on this show, I look forward to!
  • Thank you for this video. As Christians we should pray that we be strengthened in the gift of giving and receiving forgiveness with all of our sisters and brothers.
  • May God soften our hearts so we forgive those who wrong us in our daily basis because God has forgiven us already

    No one hurts you from a place of love or place if wisdom... forgive them anyway
  • @aisilrae
    WOWW. Anything that offends me, offends God even MORE. What you think is a sin or wrongdoing against you, is actually against God. What a perspective. I needed to hear that.💖

    Oh Lord. I truly have no power to forgive him. Please help me give strength to do that. I believe i can't but truly you can.
  • Every single time I watch you it's what I need at that moment, I love when God does this, being mocked 24 hours a day, God using your voices so I can hear Him, 💔➕❤️ I love you so much, hope you can feel it in my words ❤️➕❤️
  • Forgiveness... such a struggle But thanking God for changing me day by day by day! 🙏🏽‼🙌🏾
  • One thing I have to caution about. If the person that you have a problem with is an abuser. You don't have to stay or go back to them. You can still forgive, but unless they show you they have changed and come humbly and ask you to for give them and you know they mean it this time you should NEVER go back. Because they have not changed. I say this because I have family that are not just abusive, but one of they has tried to kill me at least twice that I know of. So I forgive them, but I will never go back unless God shows me they have truly changed.

    This video is two old, but it’s still teaching me something in 2024!

    What Janice said was very balanced. Sometimes we can unknowingly perpetuate division by minimizing another’s pain w messages such as “don’t be so offendable.’ While it is true that we should not be touchy as Christians, it is also true that those who may have offended us should be confronted in love, shown their wrong,bc scripture encourages us to have conversations in order to resolve the offense, rather than expect the person who is offended to ‘just suck it up.’
  • I have learned to forgive. But it had to start with my learning God truly loved me unconditionally. That was a hard lesson for me to learn, because I to this day have never had someone show me what the looks like or feels like. Since this was missing, I looked up every scripture I could find on God's love. That a year and a half ago I started see dream and vision for God helped too. The second is not something God gives everyone. I also learn that if you open yourself up, have faith, and listen in prayer; God may not answer the questions you have, but He will talk to you through the Spirit. The biggest hurdle to the last one is we have been so trained to give Him a laundry list of what we have to say, that we never say ok God I am done now it is Your turn to speak. This is not easy to learn, but it is possible. Don't limit God.

    Thank you ladies this is a much needed message. One thing the Lord revealed to me when I was finding it difficult to let go of the pains and hurts people caused me was to present them all to Him(God) and ask for His strength to overcome and forgive just as He forgives and loves us. This really helped me .
