Forgiving What You Can't Forget: Discover How to Move On, Make Peace with Painful Memories, and Create a Life That’s Beautiful Again

by Lysa TerKeurst

I DON’T NEED TO RUN AWAY. What I’m looking for will never be found somewhere out there. •I DON’T NEED TO ISOLATE. Sometimes lies scream loudest when there are no other voices to help me call foul. •I DON’T NEED TO NUMB IT AWAY. I can’t numb my way to better. Never am I closer to healing than when my feelings are strong enough to motivate me to attend to them. Healing is letting the feeling point me all the way to the cause of an issue. And when it’s properly addressed, it gives way to hope, peace, and joy that will lead me on from here. •I DON’T NEED TO SILENCE MY JOURNALED WORDS. The words I’m writing are putting my heart on display. I can’t always see what’s inside my heart, but I can listen to what spills out. This is all helpful. The work will be worth it.
