For the man carrying an old betrayal…

Maybe someone you trusted walked away when you needed them most. Maybe a friend betrayed you, a relationship ended badly, or someone you counted on failed you.

The pain may be years old, but if you still carry the anger, the wound may still be affecting how you live, love, and trust.

Michael Lyles chose not to let betrayal define him. He learned to forgive, move forward, and allow God to turn a painful experience into something that could help others.

Forgiveness doesn't mean what happened was okay. It means you refuse to let someone else's failure control your future.

Don't let an old wound steal today's joy. Give it to God, learn from it, and keep moving forward.
