1
00:00:00.001 --> 00:00:03.336
Some will say that how
can I forgive somebody
2
00:00:03.361 --> 00:00:05.859
who killed my brother,
who killed my father,
3
00:00:05.884 --> 00:00:07.453
who killed my husband ?!
4
00:00:07.478 --> 00:00:10.625
But you know you were in an EYN church
that is a Peace Church that
5
00:00:10.650 --> 00:00:15.031
has drawn an outline for this
year, forgiveness.
6
00:00:15.056 --> 00:00:16.656
So that is what we
are studying now.
7
00:00:16.681 --> 00:00:18.883
One who will be studying
it throughout the year:
8
00:00:18.908 --> 00:00:19.921
Forgiveness.
9
00:00:19.946 --> 00:00:24.060
Forgiveness will bring
healing, will bring peace
10
00:00:24.085 --> 00:00:27.457
and will make us to move
from where we are
11
00:00:27.482 --> 00:00:29.087
to where we are supposed to go.
12
00:00:29.112 --> 00:00:31.136
Because if you're holding
somebody in your head
13
00:00:31.161 --> 00:00:32.660
if you're holding grudges,
14
00:00:32.685 --> 00:00:35.113
you will not even have
time to work for yourself.
15
00:00:35.138 --> 00:00:37.675
Always you will be in pain.
You will be in agony.
16
00:00:37.700 --> 00:00:39.800
You will be angry with everybody.
17
00:00:39.825 --> 00:00:42.784
But once you let that
go you will receive healing.
18
00:00:42.809 --> 00:00:45.339
You will receive comfort.
You will receive peace.
19
00:00:45.364 --> 00:00:48.269
And you will be able to do
and even to love again
20
00:00:48.294 --> 00:00:51.228
and to reintegrate
into their communities
21
00:00:51.253 --> 00:00:52.712
or even in the church
22
00:00:52.737 --> 00:00:56.558
even with your neighbors
to integrate with one another.
23
00:00:56.583 --> 00:00:59.093
So it is more or less
like a healing process.
