Hurt is inevitable in relationships.

 

We say things that we end up regretting. We argue and say things that hurt those that we love. These things cause bitterness, division, and brokenness. Satan loves relationships to be splintered because of bitterness.

 

God gives us hope to restore hurt and broken relationships. Check out what the Bible says about bitterness and forgiveness in our relationships. This can be a game-changer in your relationships!
