I would like to say this... here... spouses that have been betrayed may have themselves opened the doors thru addictions, porn, rejection, hidden unhealed wounds causing bitterness, anger, etc... seems everybody is jumping up and down to claim responsibility for success in marriage, but failure in a marriage is also a joint venture... imho...
Thankyou for descibing exactly what I have experienced. I can only say how shocked and dissapointed I have been when my own family rejected me when I needed them the absoulute most. Thank God for God, Amen.
*Everytime I'm hurt or my anxiety attacks, I remember David and read book of Psalms. He was a depressed man, but remained steadfast in God* . Thank you Yahuah! ♥️🙏😭
Beloved sisters in Christ, We must understand that, it is because of our faith and godliness, we as woman go through this battle. The enemy saw an open door in your spouse, to crush your faith. Even though we love our husbands, they can not become our God. My heart goes out to those who reconciliation may never happen, know it's not Gods will. May His Spirit give u strenght to endure and overcome, with Him u surely will. He loves u.
Such a powerful testimony. So many women have gone through this and recovered. You are indeed a blessing. This is what I don't understand Lisa. How could the new woman ever trust someone who betrayed the wife?
Thank you for this. I have had so much hurt and unforgiven. This has really opened my eyes. Thank you for sharing what you have learned living a Godly life. God Bless you 🙏🙏
Thank you for this! I just had a major breakthrough in a season where my world was turned upside down by my husband. God is so good! Thank you Lysa for being His willing vessel !! 🧡
Thank you. For the last 3 years the realationship with my oldest adult child is estranged due to a choice to live transgender. Talk about shattered when everything you know in regards to relating to the person who made you a mom for the 1st time is gone. They want to be related to differently and in a way that is against my Christian core belief system. I live in chronic sadness. Your words encouraged me. Thank you. While our family loves this child and we fight to love them well and maintain relationship. This is not the way I thought mothering this adult child would look like. It's hard and devastating and is a chronic long ongoing heartbreak, that has changed our family's entire dynamic. It also has taught me a lot about how MY disobedience breaks God's heart and the seriousness of sin.
We're glad this video was helpful for you, Elizabeth. If you'd like to process some of Lysa's action steps from this video, you can use this free download in your quiet time this week: proverbs31.org/read/resource-library/resources/2020/09/18/5-healing-perspectives-you-need-for-your-hurt-or-heartbreak
Elizabeth, that sounds incredibly difficult-and something NO parent would be prepared to handle. I’m so sorry this happened. Though loved anyway, it sounds like your child has estranged themselves from the family, and I’m so sorry. I can imagine how hard it is relating to your child now. Underneath all the transformation, he/she is still the same person who made you a mother. All the happy memories, the laughs, ABC songs, stories read together and every scrape doctored is all still there. ❤️ The best way we can show Christ to others is with unconditional love, like you’re doing. As hard as this has been for you, I can imagine it’s been many times harder on your child. Choosing transgender is extremely difficult. Though your child knows you don’t approve, and that’s okay, whether admitted or not, your unconditional love for him/her is probably more important than ever-even if they pretend to not care. It’s understandable that you’re feeling lots of emotions about this that are hard to process and hurtful. God says if we ask for a new heart, He’ll give us one! I pray He gives you a new heart that will enable you to heal and to let go. God loves your child so very much. All you can do is love your child unconditionally and pray-the rest is up to God. I’m so sorry for what your family is going through. I’m sure there are online support groups for other parents going through this. I urge you to find them if you haven’t yet. You’re not alone. 🤗 I pray strength, comfort and peace for y’all. 🙏🏻❤️
Elizabeth Campbell, many who are transgender, non-binary, etc have been sexually abused in their past. I know people who never told their parents of the abuse. Whether is was a family member, neighbor, camp counselor, pastor... MANY have been violated. I would encourage you to pray for truth to me uncovered. Nothing ever EVER heals in the dark.
I appreciate you so very much!! I do wish the bible studies weren't so expensive, though. You are so encouraging and you give ways to deal with difficulties instead of giving the impression a person should run. This is why you are my favorite "go to". Thank you, thank you, Lysa!! God bless you and your family.❤
See, THAT'S the part that Really TICKS ME OFF, Most of all, when I Know that they WILLINGLY listened to the enemy and carried out his plans. Especially from "Believers" who KNOW Better, Know that ALL negative thoughts and their accompanying plans for action ALL come from the enemy and make the CHOICE to listen or commit an evil/negative act against me or Anyone else!!!! That's the part that made it hard because now it makes it feel more "intentional" instead of an accidental hurt or a hurtful feeling or result due to a personal choice made with good intentions, but maybe just not completely thought out properly.
So true dear one! I’m so hurt and angry from my husband’s constant affairs during our 18 yr marriage and as a Christian people in the church use free will to sin against us. But they allowed themselves to be a part of the devils plan to destroy relationships and people. I’m praying
I am a 5 month, New subscriber. I found this channel while searching for help dealing with the pain of a recent Divorce. I was married for 35 yrs when my now ex-husband filed for divorce. He made me believe his decision was motivated because he was emotionally drained; due to me taking care of my Alzheimer's Mother. He Claimed he loved me & that there was nobody else. When it was all said & done he had been having multiple affairs & as our divorce papers where being finalized , he moved in with a woman he met on line. Our divorce was final at the end of February, 4 months ago. It has been a night mare! I have been on a Rollercoaster of emotions, pain, anger, bitterness......etc. I know GOD is by my side, but there are times, when I cannot hear him or feel him around me. Is this normal? I feel alone, forgotten, disposed of...
At 12:08 it reminds me of a day I was at Mass and in the homily it was about moving forward from hurt and it sent me in a tailspin. I reached out to someone later that evening and he said don't give someone else the keys to your car. Easier said then done. I haven't been able to do that well at all. But with these topics and therapy it feels more and more possible.
Lisa’s testimony really hits home with my life. It is so hard after you are hurt so many times and don’t know how to forgive. Sometime I can forgive but I can’t forget. The enemy is so strong. Lisa’s words are very inspirational to me. Thank the Lord for Lisa!
Dear Penny to forgive doesn't mean that we necessarily will forget, we are humans, we don't forget things that have hurt is easily. What we should aim for is being able to remember those things or people without them hurting our hearts anymore. Forgiving is a usually a long process and God knows it's hard for us, but let's stick to Him and keep on asking Him to give us the grace and the power to forgive those who have hurt us, just as He forgives us every day our trespasses. ❤
Beautiful and true. God's love is powerful. He can change hearts and He teaches us to love like He loves each and every one of us, we are all His creation, fearfully and wonderfully made by our loving Heavenly Father. So pleased to have come across your channel at this very time. The Lord knows. Thank You Jesus.
Lisa thank you for sharing your TRUTH, your personal story because I have felt this say hurt. This kind of ministry is so necessary because the enemy will attack the children of the LORD wherever he can, use anyone that will allow him too. "The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."
Perfect timing as a 'friend' just sent some very hurtful words resulting from a divorce 6 years ago. Wow - really? I (thought) I was healed but what she said really hit me hard and I feel like I've just been punched with a setback. Thank you for providing your kind words. Going to get the printable resource now. I have forgiven my ex but apparently I have more people to forgive or ask forgiveness from.
I thank you Father for this beautiful advice and help from the sister ❤😢 God bless you more in all that you do and I pray against all the enemy’s work against us , against our family, against our marriage, against our children. We send back the enemy’s evil schemes to where it belongs,to the ABYSS in the mighty name of Jesus ❤❤❤

Thank you. I prayed about this, this morning. I have been praying for a heart of compassion and forgiveness. God is using this video to open my eyes and change my perspective. ....🙏
Thanks for sharing with us, Diana. If you'd like to process this video in your quiet time, you can use Lysa's free resource here: proverbs31.org/read/resource-library/resources/2020/09/18/5-healing-perspectives-you-need-for-your-hurt-or-heartbreak
Thank you Lisa. I stumbled across your teachings a few months ago. It has been a great encouragement and inspiration to be able to navigate through the hurt, pain and emotional trauma. May God continue to bless your ministry in abundance. 🙏🙏
So true its something that i have learn through my life every time I get hurt it just come naturally now to love that person and forgive yet again we have to experience the love for myself before I can love others and I always remember that verse of Ephesian that its not against flesh and blood that I am fighting but against the devil himself
Lysa, I'm so sorry we share the same story. I'm so sorry many women share our story. I am trying to figure out where God wants me in the midst of this battle, and to trust Him daily for His protection, healing and provision. It doesn't mean I'm not scared. I am. But I want my joy back, and THAT is in Christ alone.
Debora Gallo. Thank you for these 3 principles and encouragement. Having a hard time with forgiving the father of my children and hurting myself in the process. I need constant reminders.
We're thankful these principles were helpful, Debora. If you'd like to process what you learned in this video further, you can download Lysa's free resource here: proverbs31.org/read/resource-library/resources/2020/09/18/5-healing-perspectives-you-need-for-your-hurt-or-heartbreak
Lysa I appreciate God for placing your testimony in my life as I am in a moment of heartbreak & trauma... I truly believe that God made me pick up your book & watch your teachings to guide me through this.
I will be 58 years old this June. I have had much trauma. God avenging me has always come late. I want so desperately to believe these words but I do not see it in my life such thus far. People who have harmed me have been allowed to live out their days and then just simply die. I have not seen. I have not seen vindication if we believe in hell then I'm supposed to be satisfied that their spending an eternity there I am struggling with this concept. I need an apology, I need recognition that they were wrong. I'm in a situation now where I am watching someone who has harmed me tremendously now do the same to my child and because she has no physical wounds only emotional ones our legal system turns a blind eye to it. And God allows it to continue I don't understand
Wow wow wow ...so many insights and wisdom ...God is using your suffering for His good ...my story and your story are quite similar ...with one small difference ...your husband admits to his infidelity ...and has humbled himself before God ..mine won’t and therefore no truth or apology ..but I’m still standing for my marriage because I love God ,I love my family ...and I only answer for my actions ..no one else’s ..but I gotta tell you ...it’s HARD ...please pray for me ...I hear when you say somedays it’s easy and then some days it’s insurmountable ..but the only truth is God never changes ..I keep praying for truth and trust in my marriage ...I believe the evil one is holding me hostage with this not God ..so everyday I put on God’s armour and continue on my on my path holding God’s hand ..trusting only God and giving my husband to Him everyday ..
We're so sorry to hear about your story and are believing with you for restoration. If you'd like a free resource to help you walk through your healing journey, you can access Lysa's download here: proverbs31.org/read/resource-library/resources/2020/09/18/5-healing-perspectives-you-need-for-your-hurt-or-heartbreak
Forgiveness does not equal reconciliation. Forgiveness does not equal you trust them again. Forgiveness does not equal the same access they had to you before you give them again. Forgiveness requires only 1 person you. Reconciliation of a relationship, trust and access to you requires true repentance of the other person. Plus, change in behavior. Plus, time and consistency in the changed behavior. Give Forgiveness freely but everything else comes at a price that the other person is or not willing to pay as consequences of their choices. Hold them accountable by placing the boundary on how much access you allow them to have to your heart. God bless you.
Thank you, Lysa! Very similar to my story and I am comforted by your sharing. I want to praise God for leading me through the difficult journey and I am healed now. The Bible verse that I cling on was Rom8:28.
Thank you so much for sharing! I've been listening to your videos to help me overcome some build ups of being mistreated. It has helped me to realize that I am not crazy and that these emotions are valid. And that I can forgive and move on with my life. ❤
I been hurt all of my life with different stuff through out my life .I have a hard time forgiving people all the time.I can not wait for this study to come out .Love all of your books.They have helped me alot.Thank You Lysa.
Thank you for this, my narcissist ex husband hurt me and my family soooo much I don't ever think I can forgive, he doesn't even look for it he sooooo busy with his next woman but he getting older, I do believe that as I pass it on to God and leave it in his hsnds, do believe his behaviour stems from childhood trauma and do feel sorry for him every now and again but if he crosses my path all these years later he will still put me down so don't leave myself open, enjoyed this video gave me PEACE.
Thank you Lisa. When I read your book It’s not supposed to be this way I put the book down happy that your marriage survived but still so dismayed that my own marriage had not survived and I was STUCK in a cycle of trying to forget and not getting that true PEACE that comes from real forgiveness. THIS video has been a healing balm on my hurting heart! ❤️ I want to read your book in the new year and continue this journey of healing!
Lysa, thank you. You are beautiful! I very much appreciate you, as I’ve had a long road of destruction from a military career full of abuses after coming forward to report issues of sexual misconduct. Still on the mend, and have more to accomplish! God has been faithful. Your message, and ministry means a lot to me. God bless 💜, especially the part about the Purple Heart. You are very dear to God’s heart. This I am certain of.
In the midst of my pain I could see that no amount of payback would erase, or do away with my pain. So revenge was out of the solution for my own healing. What I see is that there is no amount of payback, no amount of sorry's could heal but Jesus! When God told us revenge is His alone, He meant it. It was not something He gave mankind, although it may feel good in small moments to see the other suffer. He has given my heart freedom from wanting revenge but still a work in progress with healing.
The collection of hurt that just keeps repeating itself. At this point I do not think I am ready to forgive, definitely not ready to forget. In fact I feel like I need to keep reminding myself of all the past times things have been done behind my back and that it WILL happen again, to better prepare myself for when it does happen so that hopefully the anger and hurt won't be so bad. Sounds crazy but that is how I feel. I know that like you said revenge will just make me the bad guy and not make me feel better. I do believe that revenge would cost me more and I did need to hear that. Listening to this has made me decide revenge is not the answer and I thank you for that. I hear the versus and I understand the meaning. But I guess I am not a good enough person to act on those versus. I am not ready to let this go I just feel like I need to protect myself by not forgetting so I will be better prepared when it happens the next time.
My dear I can Introduce you to the same powerful Relationships Restorer and healer who helped me got back my ex back few ago, he can manifest your ex back real quick
Thank you Lysa and Art for opening up and sharing with us this sensitive and private trial. I needed the practical advice on how to work through heartbreaks since it’s often missed in churches. May God strengthen your marriage as you continue to heal. 💖
Thank you for being the real deal....honesty about your journey....it helps me so much. I'm two years into separation and hold onto God's promise He will bring my husband back to Himself even though in the natural every kind of addiction rages in his life and his love towards me looks dead..... God can do miracles even if it's hard to imagine
Thank You for so lovingly sharing in such a god honouring, transparent way. Also for showing that vulnerability is not only needed and Okay, but it takes tremendous courage and genuine love for others to do so. This is so helpful! Blessings to you! ♥️🤗♥️
I am so blessed for this to have come up as a suggested video. I am going through a very painful experience that has ended my relationship and unfortunately for my safety, reconciliation is not attainable. Thank you so much for sharing about compassion. I couldnt understand why I was feeling it for my aggressor and now I understand that it's for my healing journey and for his as well. You're right about the healing journey being a roller coaster. I wanted to thank you Lysa for your bravery in sharing your personal story, but others are correct your testimony will lead others on the path of righteousness that God wants us follow and exercise in our own lives. Blessings of joy, peace, love and abundant health to you and your family always 💙🥰🤗
My heart is so broken and I feel so far from God. 19 year cancer filled marriage with a lot of ignoring and saying mean things to me then to find a man who said he loved the Lord but was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Lies and the horrible things he called me a long with the need for alcohol more than me. Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde. Feeling worthless.
Thank you sister, I just finished reading your book it's not suppose to be this way. It was a blessing to be and a help in this valley I'm in. Thank you for your story and testimony and for being a blessing
My dear I can Introduce you to the same powerful Relationships Restorer and healer who helped me got back my ex back few ago, he can manifest your ex back real quick
I hear u about number 2 having compassion for the person. I do try, it’s so hard when I have forgiven and it just happens again and again but this time the result it’s the hardest thing I have ever gone through. I would say place boundaries but how do u do that in a marriage. I need prayer please.
We want heaven...now!...and we want others to provide it. The desire in our souls is legitimate but we'll simply have to wait. If not we'll put our hope in idols and they will betray us.
Moving on can be so tough, friend. Here's a web page our team put together with a few counseling resources, if that's something you'd like to consider as a next step: proverbs31.org/about/counseling-support
How to draw the line between showing compassion to the person who hurt you and finding excuses for their behaviour? For example, my husband went through abusive childhood, how can I avoid making this as an excuse for his abusive behaviour while at the same time showing compassion, forgiving him & moving on?
Lysa, it is important to have distinction, means to realize when it possible to reconcile or when it is absolutely necessary to stay away or even llitraly run away from abusers. Please do not guide people wrong by saying, reconsiliation is part of forgiving. That is wrong and you should make this clear. Please do not guide people into victimhood.
Lisa your testimony has been a lifeline for millions of betrayed spouses. THANK YOU 🙏🏽
Still is my lifeline.

*Everytime I'm hurt or my anxiety attacks, I remember David and read book of Psalms. He was a depressed man, but remained steadfast in God* . Thank you Yahuah! ♥️🙏😭
Reading the Psalms is what stopped me from having pretty much weekly panic attacks!
God truly led me to your ministry. My heart has been decimated, & just when I thought all hope was lost, He showed me you.
‘There is nothing more powerful than living what God’s word teaches ‘
Beloved sisters in Christ, We must understand that, it is because of our faith and godliness, we as woman go through this battle. The enemy saw an open door in your spouse, to crush your faith. Even though we love our husbands, they can not become our God. My heart goes out to those who reconciliation may never happen, know it's not Gods will.

Such a powerful testimony. So many women have gone through this and recovered. You are indeed a blessing. This is what I don't understand Lisa. How could the new woman ever trust someone who betrayed the wife?
She doesn’t.
Thank you for this. I have had so much hurt and unforgiven. This has really opened my eyes. Thank you for sharing what you have learned living a Godly life. God Bless you 🙏🙏
I hope she finds someone that loves her. I hope the Lord looks upon her and gives a husband. A man of God. A man of prayer.
Lysa - Thank you for loving the Lord. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Thank you for your incredible teaching always.
We're glad this was helpful for you, Brenda!
Thank you for this! I just had a major breakthrough in a season where my world was turned upside down by my husband. God is so good! Thank you Lysa for being His willing vessel !! 🧡
Thanks for watching!
Thought something is wrong with me for not being healed already. Thank you very much 🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️
Me also.
I have listened to his at least 5 times. This messae is so powerful. Thank you! May God continiue to use your life and bless you❤
Thank you for watching, friend!
It must come with incredible pain and suffering to be so self aware, empathetic and conscious.
POWERFUL!!! I praise God for your awsome ministry.

So true its something that i have learn through my life every time I get hurt it just come naturally now to love that person and forgive yet again we have to experience the love for myself before I can love others and I always remember that verse of Ephesian that its not against flesh and blood that I am fighting but against the devil himself
I have been working on having more grace on myself , others who have hurt me , and also grace for people who don’t show grace to others .
We're glad this video was helpful, Rebecca!
Everyday I replay it. For 5 straight years. I pray everyday🙏🏼
I appreciate your down to earth, realistic sharing of life's complexity and feelings of isolation even as we are receiving help from the Lord.
Thank you Lysa for the teaching. It it helping me get through my trauma. Lots of love
Lysa, I'm so sorry we share the same story. I'm so sorry many women share our story. I am trying to figure out where God wants me in the midst of this battle, and to trust Him daily for His protection, healing and provision. It doesn't mean I'm not scared. I am. But I want my joy back, and THAT is in Christ alone.
Thank you for sharing part of your story, friend. We're praying for you!
I love this so much. It is spot on❤
Debora Gallo. Thank you for these 3 principles and encouragement. Having a hard time with forgiving the father of my children and hurting myself in the process. I need constant reminders.
We're thankful these principles were helpful, Debora. If you'd like to process what you learned in this video further, you can download Lysa's free resource here: proverbs31.org/read/resource-library/resources/2020/09/18/5-healing-perspectives-you-need-for-your-hurt-or-heartbreak
Lysa I appreciate God for placing your testimony in my life as I am in a moment of heartbreak & trauma... I truly believe that God made me pick up your book & watch your teachings to guide me through this.
I will be 58 years old this June. I have had much trauma. God avenging me has always come late. I want so desperately to believe these words but I do not see it in my life such thus far. People who have harmed me have been allowed to live out their days and then just simply die. I have not seen. I have not seen vindication if we believe in hell then I'm supposed to be satisfied that their spending an eternity there I am struggling with this concept. I need an apology, I need recognition that they were wrong. I'm in a situation now where I am watching someone who has harmed me tremendously now do the same to my child and because she has no physical wounds only emotional ones our legal system turns a blind eye to it. And God allows it to continue I don't understand
Great God bless
Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much for this encouraging and caring message. I really appreciate the work God is doing through you.
I thank God for being able to hear this.
Amen! I have no human enemies. People are not demons and demon's are not people. Demon's are the true enemy
Wow wow wow ...so many insights and wisdom ...God is using your suffering for His good ...my story and your story are quite similar ...with one small difference ...your husband admits to his infidelity ...and has humbled himself before God ..mine won’t and therefore no truth or apology ..but I’m still standing for my marriage because I love God ,I love my family ...and I only answer for my actions ..no one else’s ..but I gotta tell you ...it’s HARD ...please pray for me ...I hear when you say somedays it’s easy and then some days it’s insurmountable ..but the only truth is God never changes ..I keep praying for truth and trust in my marriage ...I believe the evil one is holding me hostage with this not God ..so everyday I put on God’s armour and continue on my on my path holding God’s hand ..trusting only God and giving my husband to Him everyday ..
We're so sorry to hear about your story and are believing with you for restoration.

How do you keep forgiving someone when they keep repeating their hurtful behavior despite talking about it several times?
Forgiveness does not equal reconciliation. Forgiveness does not equal you trust them again. Forgiveness does not equal the same access they had to you before you give them again. Forgiveness requires only 1 person you. Reconciliation of a relationship, trust and access to you requires true repentance of the other person. Plus, change in behavior. Plus, time and consistency in the changed behavior. Give Forgiveness freely but everything else comes at a price that the other person is or not willing to pay as consequences of their choices. Hold them accountable by placing the boundary on how much access you allow them to have to your heart. God bless you.
This is one of the best talks I have ever listened to
Thank you I'm a work in progress
Wow. Such a powerful message!
Thanks for watching!
Yes I’ve been there. Doing the thing to satisfy my anger or hurt but then later on I feel foolish or immature 😢💘😭
Thank you for sharing your testimony 🎉
Thank you, Lysa! Very similar to my story and I am comforted by your sharing. I want to praise God for leading me through the difficult journey and I am healed now. The Bible verse that I cling on was Rom8:28.
Thank you so much for sharing! I've been listening to your videos to help me overcome some build ups of being mistreated. It has helped me to realize that I am not crazy and that these emotions are valid. And that I can forgive and move on with my life. ❤
We're so glad you enjoyed this video! Praying for you!
I feel blessed while listening to you.
I am Glad I connect with you.
I been hurt all of my life with different stuff through out my life .I have a hard time forgiving people all the time.I can not wait for this study to come out .Love all of your books.They have helped me alot.Thank You Lysa.
We're glad this video was helpful, Stacey!
Thank you for this, my narcissist ex husband hurt me and my family soooo much I don't ever think I can forgive, he doesn't even look for it he sooooo busy with his next woman but he getting older, I do believe that as I pass it on to God and leave it in his hsnds, do believe his behaviour stems from childhood trauma and do feel sorry for him every now and again but if he crosses my path all these years later he will still put me down so don't leave myself open, enjoyed this video gave me PEACE.
Thank you for your testimony and honesty. I can relate.
Thank you for watching, Robin!
Thank you Lisa. When I read your book It’s not supposed to be this way I put the book down happy that your marriage survived but still so dismayed that my own marriage had not survived and I was STUCK in a cycle of trying to forget and not getting that true PEACE that comes from real forgiveness. THIS video has been a healing balm on my hurting heart! ❤️ I want to read your book in the new year and continue this journey of healing!
Hello my friend how are you doing
Lysa, thank you. You are beautiful! I very much appreciate you, as I’ve had a long road of destruction from a military career full of abuses after coming forward to report issues of sexual misconduct. Still on the mend, and have more to accomplish! God has been faithful. Your message, and ministry means a lot to me. God bless 💜, especially the part about the Purple Heart. You are very dear to God’s heart. This I am certain of.
In the midst of my pain I could see that no amount of payback would erase, or do away with my pain. So revenge was out of the solution for my own healing. What I see is that there is no amount of payback, no amount of sorry's could heal but Jesus! When God told us revenge is His alone, He meant it. It was not something He gave mankind, although it may feel good in small moments to see the other suffer. He has given my heart freedom from wanting revenge but still a work in progress with healing.
The collection of hurt that just keeps repeating itself. At this point I do not think I am ready to forgive, definitely not ready to forget. In fact I feel like I need to keep reminding myself of all the past times things have been done behind my back and that it WILL happen again, to better prepare myself for when it does happen so that hopefully the anger and hurt won't be so bad. Sounds crazy but that is how I feel. I know that like you said revenge will just make me the bad guy and not make me feel better. I do believe that revenge would cost me more and I did need to hear that. Listening to this has made me decide revenge is not the answer and I thank you for that. I hear the versus and I understand the meaning. But I guess I am not a good enough person to act on those versus. I am not ready to let this go I just feel like I need to protect myself by not forgetting so I will be better prepared when it happens the next time.
Lisa, girl this is good word! God bless you sis!
Thank you for this fantastic resource 💕
yes, thank you Lysa for encouraging me to forgive, I know its not him, but the enemy,but I continue to seek God face all the time,

I can't believe am with my love again
Thank you Lysa and Art for opening up and sharing with us this sensitive and private trial. I needed the practical advice on how to work through heartbreaks since it’s often missed in churches. May God strengthen your marriage as you continue to heal. 💖
Really appreciate your testimony Lysa. ❤️📖 Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching! -P31 team
Thank you for being the real deal....honesty about your journey....it helps me so much. I'm two years into separation and hold onto God's promise He will bring my husband back to Himself even though in the natural every kind of addiction rages in his life and his love towards me looks dead..... God can do miracles even if it's hard to imagine
Thanks so much for sharing your gift!
Thank You for so lovingly sharing in such a god honouring, transparent way. Also for showing that vulnerability is not only needed and Okay, but it takes tremendous courage and genuine love for others to do so. This is so helpful! Blessings to you! ♥️🤗♥️
Your words reflect what I feel, but could not articulate.
I am so blessed for this to have come up as a suggested video. I am going through a very painful experience that has ended my relationship and unfortunately for my safety, reconciliation is not attainable. Thank you so much for sharing about compassion. I couldnt understand why I was feeling it for my aggressor and now I understand that it's for my healing journey and for his as well. You're right about the healing journey being a roller coaster. I wanted to thank you Lysa for your bravery in sharing your personal story, but others are correct your testimony will lead others on the path of righteousness that God wants us follow and exercise in our own lives. Blessings of joy, peace, love and abundant health to you and your family always 💙🥰🤗
Thank u Lisa for aharing.
Lisa❤❤ thank you for your Prophet word, It is absolutely truly❤🕊🙏, thank you so much 👍
Thank you Lysa. ❤
Thank you Lisa for sharing the truth and needed to hear this!❤️❤️❤️
My heart is so broken and I feel so far from God. 19 year cancer filled marriage with a lot of ignoring and saying mean things to me then to find a man who said he loved the Lord but was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Lies and the horrible things he called me a long with the need for alcohol more than me. Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde. Feeling worthless.
Rehashing=obsessive=let it go
Thank you sister, I just finished reading your book it's not suppose to be this way. It was a blessing to be and a help in this valley I'm in. Thank you for your story and testimony and for being a blessing

I can't believe am with my love again
I hear u about number 2 having compassion for the person. I do try, it’s so hard when I have forgiven and it just happens again and again but this time the result it’s the hardest thing I have ever gone through. I would say place boundaries but how do u do that in a marriage. I need prayer please.
I’m in tears. Thank you for this!
We want heaven...now!...and we want others to provide it. The desire in our souls is legitimate but we'll simply have to wait. If not we'll put our hope in idols and they will betray us.
Wow, wise words articulated beautifully!!
Sigh. Very, very true.
I'm 8 years since the breakup and I still don't know how to move on
Moving on can be so tough, friend. Here's a web page our team put together with a few counseling resources, if that's something you'd like to consider as a next step: proverbs31.org/about/counseling-support
Thank you so much .🙏
So beautiful!
That sounds like something i would do 😮
Thank you Lysa. This was a beautiful word of advice.
How to draw the line between showing compassion to the person who hurt you and finding excuses for their behaviour?
For example, my husband went through abusive childhood, how can I avoid making this as an excuse for his abusive behaviour while at the same time showing compassion, forgiving him & moving on?
Hi, friend! This video may help address some of your questions: ua-cam.com/video/_VB07XAu_OQ/v-deo.html
Iv been going through rhis exact situation
I think he has cheated, however its been controlling, demanding, manipulative, verbal and emotional abuse
I needed to hear this today 🙏🏾❤️
Hurt people ...Hurt people.
Lysa, it is important to have distinction, means to realize when it possible to reconcile or when it is absolutely necessary to stay away or even llitraly run away from abusers.
Please do not guide people wrong by saying, reconsiliation is part of forgiving.
That is wrong and you should make this clear.
Please do not guide people into victimhood.
Does it take a lifetime? Because it feels like it takes a lifetime. 🥺😢
