Got Unforgiveness? Who hasn't wrestled with that
problem? Because it's a common problem in the world we live
in, you don't want to miss reading
"Moving from Broken to Beautiful through Forgiveness"
by
Yvonne
Ortega.
Some of the quotes and title chapters are
awesome. First chapter title: Forgiveness Doesn't Mean the Person Gets Away with
Wrongdoing. The quote by Confucius says, "Before you embark on a journey of
revenge, dig two graves."
I've met Yvonne and have always thought
that she's the real deal! But her brutal honesty about her thoughts and
struggles that she relays in this book makes me respect her even
more.
Chapter 5 title says Forgiveness Doesn't
Mean You Immediately Trust the Offender with the quote from Wm. Paul Young,
"Forgiveness does not create a relationship. Unless people speak the truth
about what they have done and change their mind and behavior, a relationship of
trust is not possible."
There are so many personal experiences
throughout the book. She also ends chapters with Activities, Affirmations,
Scripture Readings and Prayers.
I loved this prayer:
Dear God, I don't want to forgive those who hurt me. I can name dozens of reasons they don't deserve my forgiveness. But You can name dozens of reasons I don't deserve your forgiveness. The Scriptures say if I love you, I will obey you. I do love you. Please help me forgive. Amen.
I believe this book will help many people who are stuck feeling like they
can never forgive a certain person or offense. Well, written Yvonne!
