Day 3: The Power of Forgiveness

**Reflection:**

Forgiveness is one of the most powerful tools you have as a wife. It’s essential for maintaining a healthy and thriving marriage. Matthew 6:14-15 teaches us that forgiveness is not optional; it’s a command. When you forgive your husband, you release both of you from the bondage of bitterness and allow God’s grace to flow freely in your marriage.

Ephesians 4:32 encourages us to be kind, compassionate, and forgiving, just as God forgave us through Christ. This means that forgiveness should be a natural part of our relationships, reflecting the forgiveness we’ve received from God. It’s not always easy, but it’s necessary for the health of your marriage.

Colossians 3:13 reminds us to bear with one another and forgive grievances. Marriage will inevitably bring moments of conflict and hurt, but it’s in those moments that forgiveness is most needed. By choosing to forgive, you are choosing to protect and preserve your marriage, allowing it to grow stronger.

Today, ask God to help you forgive any past hurts and to walk in forgiveness daily. Let go of any bitterness or resentment, and choose to love your husband with the same grace and forgiveness that God has shown you.

**Prayer:**

Father, I ask for Your help to forgive as You have forgiven me. Help me to release any hurt or resentment I may be holding onto. I choose to forgive my husband and love him with the compassion and grace You have shown me. Strengthen our marriage through the power of forgiveness. Amen.
