1Have you been hurt or betrayed by someone you love, a boss, coworker 2or even a friend? It is often hard to deal with hurt, especially if it was 3done by someone close to you. But the Scriptures teach us to deal with 4these issues...and quickly. You see, if we become offended by someone 5and never deal with it...then there can be no forgiveness. And having no 6forgiveness can give the enemy a foothold in your life. Pastor Mark 7teaches us that by not handling our hurt that we can allow a root of 8bitterness to creep in our lives. This, of course, will only cause more 9problems than the “hurt” itself. You see, just as our Father in Heaven 10has forgiven us, we need to be ready and willing to offer our forgiveness to others.
