Rebuilding burnt bridges after a divorce is an art. First you have to want to. There are so many dynamics that take place during a break up and divorce that can leave us bruised and scarred to the point that we just want to say, “Forget You!”

Jesus always being our ultimate example, didn’t say forget you to the disciples who denied Him, or to the people who crucified Him instead He said, “Father forgive them for they know not what they do.” He began rebuilding burnt bridges immediately.

That is exactly what He requires us to do if we want Him to forgive us and of course we do. (Mark 11:22-26) He didn’t throw you away when you messed up, He made a way for you not to have to pay for your sin, He didn’t forget you. (Romans 10:8-10 & 1st John 1:8-10)

There are mother-in-laws, father-in-laws, children and friends who may have taken sides when the break up occurred that didn’t really mean any harm. Often, people don’t know what to do or how to act in the midst of turmoil between 2 people they love.

I can hear you saying, “I’m not rebuilding burnt bridges with them, they knew what they were doing, they meant to hurt me.” Hey, get over it, some of them meant to hurt me too and told me so, but let it drop, let it go, release it and move on.
