When you’ve been hurt in your life there’s many things you do to manage the hurt. Find out from Joyce what will bring you true healing.
you know my dad sexually abused me and
really mistreated me growing up
and and uh i married the first guy that
came along because i thought nobody
would ever want me and he ended up
cheating on me and just doing all kinds
of things and
you know so i had a pretty
pretty big sack of potatoes on my back
by the time i was in my early 20s and i
carried it everywhere
that i went and i kept trying to collect
from people
that weren’t even responsible to pay me
you know when you’re hurt really bad
you you feel like and
understandably so i felt like well
somebody owes me you feel like
something’s been taken from you
and that somebody needs to pay you back
well
we initially try to get the person that
hurt us to pay us back by shutting them
out of our life
or wanting them to apologize or talking
bad about them
to other people you know there’s we we
try to get
people back and it’s pretty much useless
because it never works it only makes you
miserable and so
i was trying to make my dad pay and
but it got so bad that then after dave
and i got married and thank god we’ve
been married now
53 years isn’t that wonderful yeah
and you can make it that long too if you
really want to
i realized that i was trying to make
dave pay
for everything my dad did to me and
other people who abused me also
i had a bad attitude come on i’m
admitting it if you have a bad attitude
admit it i had a bad attitude toward men
in general and i had these
made these inner vows that nobody’s ever
going to hurt me again and you can’t
trust any man men are only out for one
thing and
you know there was a lot that god had to
deal with me about
but i had to be willing to put down
my sack of bitterness and resentment and
unforgiveness
and let god do what only god can do and
so
i want you to realize that you need to
stop trying to collect from people
who cannot pay you you see what my
father took from me
my childhood my innocence my virginity
a lot of things that he took from me
he had no way to give them back to me
even if he would have wanted to
he couldn’t have given me back my
childhood but you know god can
god’s caused me to have more fun in
the older years of my life than what i
might have had
in the earlier years of my life we hope
