4:12 Dr. Gary Chapman’s Breakthrough Solution to Forgiving Yourself
8:08 Activation to Empower You to Forgive Yourself and others

Dr. Gary Chapman, author of "The 5 Love Languages" had a revelation about love that will enable you to forgive yourself. 

In Matthew 5:43-44, Jesus said, “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you…”

Dr. Gary Chapman, author of The 5 Love Languages, had a difficult marriage counseling session with Ann, whose husband (Glenn) was abusive and cruel to her. She had long ago lost any love or respect for him. But she was a Christian and refused to get a divorce. She asked Dr. Chapman how she could love her husband – she just didn’t have any love for him. 

in Matthew 5:43-44, Jesus said to love your enemies. Dr. Chapman suggested Ann try doing acts of love to Glenn and see what happened next. Jesus said to love your enemies and Glenn had become an enemy. 
Over the next six months, Ann made daily decisions to love Glenn and did loving acts toward him. It wasn’t easy, especially at first. But she persevered. And she began to love Glenn again. Over time, Glenn changed how he treated Ann and he began to love her too.  

Dr. Chapman had just received an important revelation of God’s love: love is not primarily an emotion. Love is a decision, followed by an action, which results in a feeling. 

God commands us to love others, knowing that if we make the decision and act on it, the feeling of love will follow.

Dr. Chapman has used that approach again in again in his counseling practice and shared it in books and teachings. It works in all relationships – parents, children, friends, etc.  

Would That Process Work for Forgiving Yourself or Others?

Forgiving is hard. Painful memories can be overwhelming. And your feelings of grief, shame, and guilt can be very strong. 
But what does God say?
1 Corinthians 13:5 NIV
“love keeps no record of wrongs”

In other words, Love forgives. Forgiving is an act of love. Yes, this process works for forgiveness. This is your breakthrough! This is the answer you’ve been looking for. This is how you can finally forgive yourself and others.

Forgiveness is a Decision, followed by an Action, which results in a Feeling
