Learn to Forgive or Stay Stuck. Your Choice!


So much anger, bitterness and unforgiveness out there.  No wonder so many people struggle in their relationships.  They are constantly trying to make everyone else pay for past hurts.

I believe I have the gift of encouragement. Hard earned, by the way. I've been betrayed, gutted like a fish emotionally and left for dead, spat upon literally and figuratively, abandoned, used, wasted, lonely, broke and damn near homeless because of combinations of my own mistakes and those who sought to hurt me. You think I can't relate when I say "Forgive" and don't know what I'm talking about? Please.

I think part of my demeanor suggests to people that I haven't been through much - and certainly not what you've been through. False. But I still say "Forgive" because that's where the power is. That's where restoration begins to happen. You don't forgive. You stay stuck. Simple.

But how, you ask?  How can you forgive?  How can you trust?

Here are some thoughts...


  • Understand that you have committed sins more heinous towards God than those that have been committed against you and He has chosen to forgive you anyway. 
  • Understand that you have often hurt people as much (or more) than those who have hurt you. You don't consider it as such, but they do. You've chosen to justify your actions and vilify theirs. 
  • Place a value on what you believe was done to you. If you "price" it out, you will find that it is usually not as costly as you think. Did they destroy your life? No. You're still here. 
  • Understand that the person who hurt you can't restore you anyway. Release them from the debt. Releasing them releases you. 
  • Stop holding one person's sin against everybody else. That's as unrighteous as me hating others because they resemble you. 
Is it a process? Maybe. I don't tend to think so. I tend to think it's a decision. Eventually you will have to either decide to forgive or decide to continue to hold the sins against that person. Ultimately it is your choice to be free or remain captive.

You have to remember that you have an enemy who works overtime to remind you of your past, as well. He will send messages and messengers about your past to try and stagnate you. Sometimes you have to understand that it's just an echo, compartmentalize it as such and remind yourself that you've moved on from that place. It is unreasonable to think memories won't ever come back. In time, the hurt will fade, too.

Blessings.  I'm standing with you!

"How to Become a Woman Worth Finding" Coaching Call



Did you miss my last "Be Worth Finding" Coaching Call? They are always fun and educational and even inspirational!! (Here's a link to the Event Page in case you want to join in some of the conversation!)

I had two special guests on this call! Two amazing guests! Betty-Anne Marie White and the Queen B, Belinda Oliver, joined me! The hour was all about healing and preparing for those of you who want meaningful relationships! Be sure to join their pages at Woman, Reveal Yourself and Belinda E. Oliver, too, to learn more about them!  We talked about


  • How to know when you're healed... 
  • What are real red flags versus what are negotiable issues... 
  • Why masturbation could be a problem... 
  • How to be on purpose instead of desperate in your desire to have a relationship... 
  • and much more!

Download the link to listen to the broadcast below.  You can support Belinda by purchasing her books from Amazon.com here and here! And contact Betty-Anne directly if you want to have her in for a conference or workshop.


One more thing...

Because this is the most common question I get by far! "Mark, what is a good woman? What does she look like? How does she act? How can I become a woman worth finding?" I knew the best way to answer this question for you was to put together a complete teaching on it, so that's what I've done! I will show you what men of God are looking for and look at it all through the best lens of all - the Word of God!

I am releasing this in conjunction with the next HUGE "Be Worth Finding" Conference Call and I wanted to give you a chance to pre-order now at a special offer price of just $4!!! The regular price is $10 but all of my friends and supporters here can get ahead of the crowds and take advantage of this price. I am only doing this for a short time for sure!

If I could change just one thing about you, I'd change your..


If I could change one thing in the world right now when it comes to relationships, it would be this wave of cynicism that has overtaken people. My thought is the cynicism I see expressed throughout this world these days is not serving people well at all.

It's making things worse.

Any statement that begins with "All", "Many" or "Most" is probably wrong before even the next word is typed.  But think about how often TODAY you will read or hear someone say "(All) women don't...." or "Most men..."  Frankly, I think we need to give people more credit than that.  Substitute the word "some" in their place and you might be closer to the truth.  Maybe.

More importantly, these words you speak aren't ministering grace to the hearers and is destroying fruit. A lot of what you think has to be said, doesn't. Not at all. Even worse, you're hurting more than you're helping. 

"Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear." ~ Ephesians 4:29

Death and life are still in the power of the tongue. If you want to have healthy relationships, you have to speak healthy relationships over yourself and over those around you. Complaining, categorizing and generally making a commotion doesn't help. Not at all.  Your words shape your life.
