Moving OnSample

If someone hurts you over and over again, it can be difficult to move forward, can’t it? Sure, they keep apologizing, but nothing changes. That certainly makes forgiveness not so easy to give. But here, Jesus commands us to forgive every time someone asks. Of course, that feels impossible, but remember, everything is possible with God. Asking for God’s guidance and help to move forward is the only way we can forgive, again and again, and again, for as long as it takes to move on in a healthy way. 

So why not start now? If you’re having a hard time letting go of something, pray that God will help you forgive today. Then, keep praying for the strength to move on. And finally, if you find yourself in a harmful situation, know that part of moving on is speaking up and making a change. So, ask God for the strength to help you take a step toward sharing with someone you trust this week.
