[1534.52 --> 1541.22] And I learned to become far more aware of the sin of my own life because I had to remember I'm not better than my dad.
[1546.52 --> 1547.52] I'm not better than my dad.
[1547.52 --> 1548.48] I'm not better than my dad.
[1548.48 --> 1548.98] I'm not better than my dad.
[1548.98 --> 1549.16] I'm not better than my dad.
[1549.16 --> 1550.40] Forgiveness frees us.
[1550.96 --> 1553.80] And it frees us to forgive others and love others.
[1553.80 --> 1567.08] You know, I hear too often these terrible stories of people who, families, you know, where they haven't talked to a mother not talking to her daughter for 20 years.
[1567.22 --> 1570.18] Or a dad never wanting to see a family member again.
[1570.52 --> 1572.42] You go, how does that even happen?
[1572.42 --> 1579.10] Hebrews 12.
[1580.40 --> 1584.52] It says, see to it that no one falls short of the grace of God.
[1584.58 --> 1585.72] Isn't that a fascinating line?
[1586.06 --> 1587.78] No one falls short of the grace of God.
[1588.02 --> 1588.18] What?
[1588.28 --> 1589.14] We can come up short?
[1589.34 --> 1590.14] Yeah, we can.
[1590.28 --> 1591.58] What happens when we come up short?
[1592.06 --> 1593.82] And that no bitter root grows.
[1594.00 --> 1594.90] That's what happens.
[1595.12 --> 1596.68] It causes trouble and defiles many.
[1597.06 --> 1598.08] That's what happens, right?
[1598.16 --> 1600.26] You either forgive or you become bitter.
[1600.26 --> 1602.16] Those seem to be the options.
[1606.08 --> 1607.82] Unforgiveness enslaves us.
[1607.90 --> 1608.82] I've seen it.
[1609.72 --> 1622.70] And we need to go to that place of pain and forgiveness to uproot that bitterness so that we can let go of the grudges and let go of the anger and let go of the hatred.
[1622.94 --> 1624.22] They wronged me so much.
[1624.64 --> 1625.18] Yes.
[1626.14 --> 1626.92] Now what?
[1626.92 --> 1626.96] Now what?
[1630.26 --> 1633.90] We need to learn to forgive because Christ forgives.
[1634.48 --> 1640.14] And God takes it all and he gives you his peace and his freedom and his spirit and his healing.
[1643.02 --> 1645.60] And in this, we do forgiveness in community.
[1646.22 --> 1648.52] This needs to be a forgiving community.
[1648.52 --> 1651.74] James 5, we read,
[1652.10 --> 1656.26] Therefore, confess your sins to each other and pray for each other that you may, what?
[1656.34 --> 1657.12] Be healed.
[1657.82 --> 1660.00] The prayer of the righteous person is powerful and effective.
[1660.16 --> 1661.16] What a wonderful thing.
[1661.52 --> 1669.16] If I tell you my brokenness, somebody that I trust, if I tell you somehow that helps me, do I want to do that?
[1669.50 --> 1670.56] Absolutely not.
[1670.56 --> 1678.62] And I might add, confess the pain of the sin to one another that you may be healed too.
[1679.00 --> 1684.84] Know the pain you caused and share the pain you received in these moments of confession.
[1684.84 --> 1689.36] This is the process of healing and forgiveness.
[1689.92 --> 1691.40] We're going to talk more about that, I'm sure.
[1692.68 --> 1694.42] And I want you to practice this.
[1695.30 --> 1696.22] This week maybe.
[1696.54 --> 1698.06] Maybe with some trusted other.
[1698.40 --> 1700.86] Reflect on how you've been forgiven by God.
[1701.24 --> 1704.24] Reflect on it and then get specific with somebody.
[1708.32 --> 1709.82] And go to the harder places.
[1709.82 --> 1712.30] Well, once I got a little bit mad at somebody.
[1712.62 --> 1714.12] Well, you know what I mean?
[1717.00 --> 1720.62] Once in anger, I said this horrible thing.
[1720.72 --> 1722.34] Okay, okay, we're getting somewhere now.
[1724.98 --> 1728.92] So that we can be moved to healing.
[1729.26 --> 1732.02] Otherwise, if you don't, it's too often.
[1732.14 --> 1734.98] If you're the one who falls into the sin and you just can't seem to get rid of it.
[1735.24 --> 1736.98] Otherwise, it turns into self-loathing.
[1736.98 --> 1740.72] And in any addiction, self-loathing is a key factor here.
[1741.04 --> 1748.50] I hate myself, which drives me now back to the behavior because somehow that pretends to satisfy me.
[1748.70 --> 1749.92] And it doesn't.
[1755.92 --> 1763.22] And out of all of that, when we learn to forgive in Christ-like ways, we find freedom.
[1763.22 --> 1763.72] Right?
[1766.72 --> 1770.32] AA isn't a bunch of people saying, so what'd you do?
[1770.44 --> 1770.66] Nothing.
[1772.16 --> 1772.98] Well, what'd you do?
[1773.02 --> 1773.64] Oh, nothing either.
[1774.32 --> 1774.50] Right?
[1774.58 --> 1776.02] It's a whole thing is honesty.
[1777.20 --> 1780.26] Or sex addicts, anonymous, or whatever group you want to name.
[1780.34 --> 1782.96] Or you could find probably four more groups.
[1784.30 --> 1785.60] Forgiveness is hard.
[1785.94 --> 1788.00] We feel vulnerable in it, of course.
[1788.00 --> 1800.08] When I hurt my wife's heart, and I have, there's a piece of me that just wants to move on.
[1801.44 --> 1802.34] Okay, okay, I'm sorry.
[1803.24 --> 1803.92] Kind of like the kid.
[1804.98 --> 1806.14] And I want to move on.
[1806.26 --> 1807.82] And I want to get past it quick.
[1808.32 --> 1811.62] Because I don't want to own the fact that I hurt my wife's heart.
[1811.62 --> 1813.56] But it needs to be owned.
[1813.92 --> 1815.40] I need to say it to my Lord.
[1815.58 --> 1817.10] And I need to say it to my wife.
[1817.38 --> 1818.96] And we need to learn to do better.
[1825.62 --> 1829.54] Trust that God is at work in this path of forgiveness.
[1830.34 --> 1833.88] To heal you, and to heal those you've harmed.
[1833.88 --> 1841.54] Where are those places where you need to confess first to God, and then to someone you've hurt?
[1841.82 --> 1843.64] Maybe even unintentionally.
[1844.70 --> 1847.00] And it doesn't always get all cleaned up here.
[1847.14 --> 1852.42] Den Haulander talked about her experiences as being, this process of forgiveness for her as being lifelong.
[1852.90 --> 1855.66] And she said, this side of heaven we don't get complete restoration.
[1855.66 --> 1861.80] I never got a confession from my dad that, you know, it was all okay now.
[1862.32 --> 1864.54] And that he owned all the stuff that he did.
[1864.82 --> 1866.02] Really never got there.
[1867.48 --> 1870.48] But God brought me healing anyway, over time.
[1870.82 --> 1875.72] As I said, through counseling, through prayer, through talking with people, through reading, through wrestling, through reflecting.
[1876.34 --> 1877.70] And there's more healing to come.
[1878.04 --> 1879.92] I've experienced the power of forgiveness.
[1880.56 --> 1883.14] My holy God gave his only son.
