- 0:59You know, quite often we encounter people in our lives, whether they are loved ones,
- 1:08friends, colleagues, even sometimes strangers that will say things and do things,
- 1:15to us that can really tear us down.
- 1:19It could be a simple word. It could be a simple sentence.
- 1:23It could be a reaction and it could definitely be something that physically,
- 1:31changed the course of the way you view that person.
- 1:35Well, I've been there. I've been there twice in my life, actually more like
- 1:40three, but it was counting.
- 1:43And I think it's probably four,
- 1:45but Hey, I'm going to stop right with the thrower, let's talk about four.
- 1:49And I'm going to be preaching this Sunday about forgiveness,
- 1:53and forgiveness is so difficult because when you preach,
- 1:58or when you live your life, trying to do right by other people and making sure
- 2:03that you try your very best to make people understand that you're, you're.
- 2:10Your heart was never designed or made to hurt others in any way, shape, or form.
- 2:17I was never raised or taught to hurt people intentionally, to hurt people with
- 2:23a malicious or horrific, trying to get the words out this morning, guys, and I apologize.
- 2:30There's so much I want to say and so little time to say it. But I guess the
- 2:34meat of the whole part of this episode is how much longer can you take that pain?
- 2:40How much longer can you take being stomped on?
- 2:43There's got to be a time when you just say, okay, enough is enough.
- 2:46And even though you'll have to make the hardest decision you'll ever make in your life,
- 2:52even though you know it'll change the entire course or actions of the way your
- 2:59daily routine goes, the way your environment goes,
- 3:04is it worth keeping all that in to keep all that frustration,
- 3:08all that anger, all that misery, when you can just turn the page,
- 3:14move forward, forgive, and be happy.
- 3:18That is a question that a lot of people have come to me with.
- 3:22It's a lot of times that I can answer it, but then sometimes I have to think
- 3:26about it myself and say, well, what would I do differently?
- 3:30Many of us are feeling that pain this morning.
- 3:34Many of us wake up or they go to bed, if they even go to bed,
- 3:38and they think, how did I get into this predicament?
- 3:41How did I put myself into this problem either for the first time or in some
- 3:48situations like myself how did I do this again I always said I would never let this happen,
- 3:55I would never let this get the best of me but when you're there and you realize
- 4:00too late what do you do then.
- 4:03Here's my advice to you today if you're in the same situation that I've described,
- 4:08I need you to pray I need you to sit back and say, Lord, I have officially had enough.
- 4:14And I'm leaving this here for you.
- 4:16I cannot do this again. And I cannot do this alone. You're going to need to help me on this one.
- 4:22And you'll be surprised what God will do for you.
- 4:26Let's pray. Heavenly Father, it is at this moment, there are many people that
- 4:30have written to me, spoken to me.
- 4:33I can see it in their eyes. I can feel it in their hearts. They're hurting.
- 4:36And that pain needs to go away today.
- 4:39So please, Lord, guide us through this misery. Guide us through this discomfort.
- 4:45And know this, when we make our decisions, when we make our choices,
- 4:51I guarantee you, you're the positive, I will guarantee you,
- 4:56God will see it through, you will feel better, and you will be on the path toward righteousness.
- 5:04Never forget that God loves you, God believes in you, God trusts you,
- 5:09and he's never going to leave our side.
- 5:11Have faith. Let it begin.
