Understanding Pain and the Path to Forgiveness

Let's talk about pain.

When deep hurt strikes our lives, it can feel overwhelming. Many of us face the tough task of finding forgiveness after a painful event.

Many are talking about how deep tragedy has caused them a lot of pain and how do they suppose to exercise forgiveness.

The journey through pain to forgiveness isn't easy. But there's wise guidance we can follow.

The first thing to take into consideration is that the bible says to safeguard your heart because out of it are your sources of life.

This key truth shows us where to start. Your heart needs protection because it affects everything in your life.

If you do not safeguard your heart, then what happens is this, you can become treacherous. And nine times out of ten, you will because of how our hearts are created.

When we don't guard our hearts after being hurt, we risk becoming bitter. Pain can change us in ways we don't want if we're not careful. That's why taking care of our hearts must come first on the path to forgiveness.
