Have you heard the saying that time is a healer? How's that worked out in your story? Experience has taught me that its what we do with our time that makes a difference! ... The effects of the traumatic things we've experienced don't disapprear over time. Unless we address them they just sink deep within us and continue to influence our lives and cause all sorts of behavioural, mental, & relational problems. So, what can we do to address our pain and get our freedom back? Join us as we begin a new series around the Freedom of Forgiveness. Our first session was spoken recently to a group of men in a rehabilitation centre around the topic of freeing ourselves from what others have done to us. A fitting place to start!! "You shall know the truth & the truth shall make you free." 🗡🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🔥❤️ .... 'Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”' (John 20:19-23) NKJ .... Book: Do Yourself a Favour Forgive by Joyce Meyer
