Whew: Hurt, Bitterness and Forgiveness
By Jody NolandHave you ever had your feelings deeply hurt or been grossly mistreated? Felt used, abused or excluded? Yup, me too.
Worse yet, has anything horrible happened to someone you loved? Rape, sexual abuse, robbery, slander?
What do you do with those hurts, especially when they happened to someone who was completely innocent? How do you deal with the resultant righteous anger and indignation?
How do you let go of the pain, especially if the person causing the hurt or pain was not remorseful or even caught?
