Categories of Pain that move God's heart toward the Oppressed (Pt. 12 of the series on Forgiveness)

It seems that the common teaching in churches and counseling offices is that the injured party should just "let bygones be bygones," regardless of whether the Oppressor or perpetrator has ever acknowledged, confessed, and taken responsibility for committing their offense. Thus, the message to the victimized party is that the responsibility lies upon them to just "let it go," in order to experience freedom and healing. But, is that actually correct teaching? Is that what God says? What does the Bible teach about "letting it go"? Is that what moves God's heart... just letting it go, no matter what? Does He care about the harm and suffering of those injured by evil and wicked individuals? The correct answer is a resounding "Yes!"

In the continuation of his in depth series on 'Forgiveness: What it is vs. is NOT,' Jon K. Uhler, LPC, looks at the Biblical concept of how God feels about the kinds of pain that moves God's heart on behalf of the injured, and against the perpetrator and oppressor. The good news for the Survivors is that God will act on their behalf, in order to show them that He cares deeply about their pain. Your pain matters to God. He will never ask you to "forget about it," because He doesn't forget about your pain.
