When we are hurt by people we trust, the trauma runs deep, but Lysa TerKeurst encourages us to find healing by declaring what is true of God.
Bob: I don’t know if we realize it or not, but there is a connection between our relationship with God—our spiritual lives; how we’re doing spiritually—and our relationships with one another. If we’re continuing to harbor bitterness, or anger, or hatred toward someone—if we have not worked through the process of releasing those things, and pursuing forgiveness and reconciliation—that’s going to affect everything about your life and about your relationship with God.
Dave and Ann Wilson have been talking this week with Lysa TerKeurst, who’s written a book on this subject from her own experience. The book is called Forgiving What You Can’t Forget: Discover How to Move On, How to Make Peace with Painful Memories, and How to Create a Life That’s Beautiful. This is a book we’ve got in our FamilyLife Today Resource Center. You can go online at FamilyLifeToday.com to request a copy, or call 1-800-FL-TODAY. Again, the website is FamilyLifeToday.com. The number to call is 1-800-358-6329; that’s 1-800-“F” as in family, “L” as in life, and then the word, “TODAY.”
And let me say—the issues of anger and bitterness/unforgiveness—these are issues that will show up from time to time. At our Weekend to Remember marriage getaways—couples who are coming, who are locked up in conflict, who are experiencing pain in their relationship—and they need help and guidance to know how to pursue oneness with one another when there has been profound hurt in a marriage relationship.

Now, tomorrow, we’re going to consider the relationship between forgiveness and trust, because they’re connected; but they’re not the same That’s important for us to understand. Lysa TerKeurst joins us, again, tomorrow. We hope you can join us as well.
