6: 3 Steps to Forgiveness

Send me a text…what do struggle with most in estrangementForgiveness is often associated with negativity. You don’t want to forgive. You don’t believe someone who has hurt you deserves forgiveness. Why is it so hard? I understand those feelings. When someone abandons you as a child, it isn’t easy to forgive. When betrayed, it’s difficult to even say the word. You may even want them to suffer in the same way you have. What if I told you that’s a natural response and one shared by millions of women just like you? Our innate reaction when hurt is to retreat and hope the same befalls our offender. But I am living proof that will not get you where you want to be. Holding on to bitterness and refusing to forgive is a poison that will eventually destroy you. Listen in today to learn 3 steps for forgiveness and how working through these can yield you the peace you so desperately seek. Find the full transcript for this episode plus resources for women at Estrangement: Turning Pain into Peace at beckykolb.com/6. Becky Kolb helps women with estranged relationships find lasting peace and the ability to move forward from guilt & shame, learn the process of forgiveness, rediscover God and what he says about you, develop boundaries and non-negotiables for healthy relationships.  And the result is living your passion and purpose with peace and losing the weight of anger and bitterness! Contact Becky at www.beckykolb.com/contactDownload the free guide to work through Finding Peace Amid Estrangement at www.beckykolb.com/guide
