      I was lucky to use my sense and did few more checks and found out it was not you.
      Anyway, seems like this is an on going scam on youtube these days targeting vulnerable people.
      Anyway, love your good work 🧸

    At a young age, my father mentally and physically abused me. This went on for about 11 years. The years after i hated him and kept asking myself why.
    When i was 38 I got my first child. At some point i was confronted that when i lost my temper, in sounded exactly like my father. It was at that moment of realisation why I went through it all. I would never hurt my children like he did. My love shines every day for them.
    I am grateful and learned to forgive my father. 2 years ago i was saved 🙏

    It’s my mom. She abused me as a child. Turned me into family scapegoat, family councillor and people pleaser with zero self confidence. In my adult life she’d blame me, berate and belittle me and get my siblings to blame me. So many lies. 😢 Nothing I ever did was good enough. She still lies now. I pray to forgive her. I absolutely don’t trust her. God tells us to guard your heart . I’m in self protection mode. She let my dad physically abuse me too. God doesn’t like a lying heart. May God have mercy on her soul . She called me a Jesus freak when I was 15 yrs old. She told me I was an accident and she never wanted me. At least Jesus carved me on the palm of his hand. I’ve never felt loved by her, never. May the Holy Spirit help me release the hurt , anger and sorrow.

      I believe you. I feel compelled to understand why my parents scapegoated me also. Best I can figure out it’s a bunch of layers of lies. My mom was a serious alcoholic and says now that she never really drank until she was 35, after I left home. I have to admit I don’t understand it. I also have nothing to gain by having a relationship. Can’t bring up the past or ask them for anything. Asking them for anything is just proof I’m not a good son. I don’t hold anything against them but I also am not having them come to me for help like Joseph’s brothers did.

I've tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail. I'm frustrated, and i don't see my life with anyone else. I've done my best to get rid of the thoughts, but i can't. I don't know why I'm saying this here, but i really miss her and i wish i could get her back.

    I find it incredibly difficult to forgive relatives the most. Because they know you very well and will use you without any care, consideration or thought at all. Gaslighting you at times too to obtain what is they're desire. For me though i grew up as the invisible child and scapegoat around two narcisstic parents. Two narc parents who committed domestic violence. Manipulated their kids to choose sides. Participated in animal/pet abuse. Both of them are codependent as well. I never want any kids myself or a household of my own i cannot take the chance or putting myself or someone else through what i've experienced. So yeah truthfully i wrestle with doubt, bitterness towards them and grief. Its such a long story but i'll leave it at that.

And find myself talking bad about them a lot outside of work. Thank you for reminding me of Joseph, and how all these things that happen to us can be used for God’s glory. Your testimony about you and your dad was very interesting as well. I’m happy for you that you were able to turn the hurt and loneliness of abandonment into a lasting and fulfilling relationship with your father.

    The biggest thing that helped me while searching for this "how", was that forgiveness is for you, not for the other person. They still have to face justice/karma. "Forgive them Father for they know not what they do." It's within yourself that you understand the person(s) that wronged you do not truly know the damage they are actually doing to themselves and their spirit. If they realized the consequences, they wouldn't do it. They are spiritually immature, weak minded, and now have to embark on a journey to undo that. It's a cost infinitely worse than anything they could possibly gain in the physical.

    Cait, Thank you for the message. You have a gift to teach with such clarity. i’m pretty good at forgiving people. I have been betrayed at the deepest level by my own family. My wife filed for divorce after 26 years of marriage. I am standing for my marriage and doing everything I can to try to save it. I am claiming every scripture and being obedient to God. Things don’t look good, but I will continue to believe that God is going to do a great thing here. It’s hard when some of your family, my in-laws, and some friends accept what my wife is doing. I see it as they are on the devils side and trying to destroy a family that was so loving and close. Spiritual warfare is real! I wish my wife and daughter would participate in your podcast. They need some Godly women in their lives. They have a vail of deception over their eyes. Please pray for my family to turn back to God and for our marriage to be restored. I am open for any suggestions on how to fight the spiritual warfare. Thanks.

    A couple of topics I wouldn't mind hearing your insight on: The MGTOW movement (Men Going Their Own Way) and how to bring Godly men back into being interested in marriage when they see such financial ruin from divorces and family court custody rulings even in Christian marriages.
    Also, more insight on therapies to get over childhood PTSD.
    Thanks, Bob. Keep up the good work !!

    I lost one of my best and most valuable friends that I’ve known for years, last year, by her suddenly cutting me off. My second best friend knew how much that hurt me, because it made me feel like I’m not good enough and I’ve been suffering feeling so insecure ever since, and said he would never do something like this but eventually ended up doing the same thing. This really broke my heart and I’ve been so hurt since 🥺 having difficulty trusting people with my vulnerability because it feels like the second friend used it against me, but also missing them so much at the same time. It’s really taken a bit of softness and playfulness and hope from me, and this video made me realize that maybe I can heal a bit by forgiveness and having hope that everything will turn out the way it should. I still want them back in my life so much, but maybe forgiveness is the fist step

    Well, said Cait. Thank you for articulating the story. Forgiveness is key. The Lord was with him all through the many years of jail. We have a similar story regarding our fathers. I havent seen him since I was 17. I was I was around 39 when i seen him again.

    From what I can figure out, a shekel was about 11 grams. And in today's silver market, a gram is priced .86 cents. So they sold him for around $189.20 USD or $286.15 AUD.

    I believe you can reach into a place of forgiveness, once you are healed, and get into a place of balance and power within yourself and in life. And that’s how Joseph reflected on the past events of his life. Forgiveness has its time and place.

    It was a blessing seeing this. I’m going through a journey of forgiving because it doesn’t feel right to hate and to have what’s going on in my mind on replay everyday about the wrong done to me. I’m doing this to be at peace and see God do his work. He is faithful and he’s on my side.

    Another excellent episode most can relate to. Congratulations on your channel gaining a wider audience. I too struggled with forgiveness, and had built a wall of anger and resentment against family and friends. When I was saved, and started reading the Bible, I understood how important it is to forgive, just as our Heavenly Father has forgiven us. I reached out to all ppl I had an issue with, apologized for whatever part I played and offered them unconditional forgiveness, and literally all family and friends responded in a positive way. I now have all back in my life, and I am so grateful. Thank you Cait for sharing your wonderful stories and God's love for all of us. God bless you and all 🙏

    We can attempt forgiveness but if they refuse to repent than walk on. Go with a clear conscience you tried to forgive them. Forgiveness always require repentance. Not much we can do after that but its in God's hand.
    All I know is, they are still gossiping and slandering everyone around them. Just had to cut that relationship off.

    • @CaitTaylor
      @CaitTaylor  2 місяці тому +6

      It's important to note that forgiveness and reconciliation are different. Forgiveness is a command from God. We must forgive the person in our hearts, regardless of if they ever repent. Jesus forgave the men who were crucifying Him, while they were doing it! They were certainly not repentant and yet He forgave them anyway. Reconciliation on the other hand, does require repentance. If the person has not repented, it is often best to forgive them in our hearts but maintain a healthy distance. We can forgive what they did and release the bitterness, without allowing them to also cause further damage in our lives.

    Wowwww! Good stuff Cait. Glad you touched on this one. I recently watched a Charles Stanley sermon/episode on forgiveness, shortly after that, saw a priest on UA-cam talking about forgiveness (forgive and be forgiven) and now you. Hmmmm….God is talking to me for sure.
    I certainly appreciate someone, like myself, that is not afraid to address the white elephant in the room. You certainly have a delicate way of going about it though. Looks like I have some more work and reflection to do on this matter, as I still find myself , in argument in my mind with some of these people that I have so-called forgiven. Forgiving and letting go can be quite a process sometimes. I will continue to process through God and his word. And that scripture of Joseph really helped btw… keep em coming
