How to Forgive Someone Who Hurt You

From YouTube

Description

New Year's resolutions fade fast, but if you want to know how to forgive someone who hurt you, a real reset starts in your heart. You forgive to get the weight off your own heart, whether or not the other person ever agrees or apologizes. Joseph let go of what his brothers did long before he saw them again, and that freed him for the bigger work God had for him. In this sermon, Pastor Kaloma Smith of UAMEZ Church in Palo Alto, California preaches on the story of Joseph and his brothers in Genesis and shows how forgiveness clears the way for what God has planned. Preached in January 2024 as Part 1 of the Reset series. Questions this sermon answers Why should I forgive someone who isn't sorry? Forgiveness is for your own heart and peace of mind, and their response is up to them. When did Joseph forgive his brothers? Long before they stood in front of him, because he kept doing his best as a slave and a prisoner instead of carrying bitterness. How is a reset different from a New Year's resolution? A resolution is a task, while a reset changes the heart that drives every task you take on. Why does bitterness hurt me more than the other person? It grows inside you and starts shaping your sleep and your decisions.
