Do\\xa0 you\\xa0 ever\\xa0 find\\xa0 yourself\\xa0 replaying\\xa0 and\\xa0 reliving\\xa0 the details of the deepest hurt in your life? My guest today has endured a devastating, public heartbreak \\u2013 and she has wrestled with the lingering,unresolved pain which followed. Author and speaker Lysa TerKeurst joins me to share part of her\\xa0 journey of\\xa0 learning to forgive what you can\\u2019t forget.

\\u201cI don\'t want to make this sound more clean and pretty than it actually was. It was hard. It was horrific. It was terrible. And walking out something as devastating as an affair in a marriage created tremendous burden and tremendous hardship. But I will say that one commitment that I made that was really important was that I can feel hurt, but I don\'t have to choose to live hurt. Or perpetuate that hurt into other people.\\u201d

Lysa shares vulnerably and offers advice for anyone who feels stuck in a cycle of unresolved pain. We talk about the huge help a Christian counselor has been both for Lysa and her children throughout this process and how she delved into what the Bible really says about forgiveness.

\\u201cThe Bible never says that people have to forgive and forget. It actually says quite the opposite. If we can be healed of it, it is actually beneficial not to forget because it becomes a testimony that can be used in powerful ways. And that\'s part of the good that God can bring in our story. I think how we know that we are experiencing healing is the way that we tell the stories of our lives.\\u201d
