Forgiveness frees you to know God deeply. . .even when hurt by Christians.

debbietaylorwilliamsLife’s battles maim, immobolize, and mock. What’s worse? Battles in the church. Yes, we Christians can slice and dice by our sisters and brothers in Christ, as Debbie Taylor Williams learned the hard way.

The author of The Plan A Woman in a Plan B World, What to Do When Life Doesn’t Go According to Plan, Debbie served on a divided pastor search team that was a huge challenge to her, both emotionally and spiritually.

The other day she told me, “I had never experienced such intense conflict within the church and was shocked and saddened. I was also hurt. I wanted to stay home instead of continuing to go to church. It was hard to continue to serve the body. God showed me, however, that I had to let go of my anger if I was going to continue to serve Him.”

Debbie felt bitter, but she didn’t let bitterness get the best of her. I invite you to hear the rest of Debbie’s story and how God showed her the path to forgiveness.

She is my guest on my online radio show, “Sisterhood of Beautiful Warrior,” on Tuesday at 2 p.m. Eastern (11 a.m. Pacific). To listen to the show LIVE, simply click this link and you’ll hear it though your computer. 🙂 Are you busy at this time, then listen to the archived show. Here’s the link. 

Have you walked where Debbie has? In the land of bitterness? Has a Christian sister or brother hurt you so bad that you fel like giving up and stop worshipping God at church? Debbie understands. I do too.

Yet Scripture says, “Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you” (Colossians 3:13). 

Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

Forgiving isn’t easy. But it hurts. It hurts to hold on to unforgivenss. Thank God that He has a better plan for us.
