Episode 53: Healing Without Becoming the Hurt: Navigating Lies, Pain and True Forgiveness

Psalm 94:9 (NKJV) "He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see?" So, what is scripture text about? It assures us that the one who planted (created) the ear, hears. And the one who formed the eye, sees. In context it's about the justice He is with the psalmist expressing a profound assurance that God hears and perceives the oppression faced by His people. When someone lies about you, it cuts deep. The betrayal, the pain—it's heavy. But here's the truth: we don't have to let that hurt change us or turn us bitter. Romans 12:21 reminds us, "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." Forgiveness isn't weakness, it's freedom. Healing isn't forgetting, it's letting God piece your heart back together. Trust Him to fight your battles and lean on His truth. You are not what they said, you are who He says you are!
