Episode 10: Forgiving the Unforgivable
“…And the Lord said: "get up, it’s going to be okay. Get up. Let it go". But in letting it go, it wasn’t that just because I heard the Lord speak to me, it went away. It didn’t. There were so many things I had to do in the natural realm; like not following them on the internet and not finding out about things they were doing. Sometimes we think because we have prayed, we can go on and do those things, but healing doesn’t come that way.”
“…So I shifted all that energy to building my self-esteem and pulling myself up.”
“And I cried to God: "Just dry my tears, just give me the strength". And He did.”
– Dr. Vivian Yakpo Newton
