Forgiveness

Imagine if every time someone did something that upset you, you had to put a brick in your backpack. How long would it take for you to end up flattened like a pancake? This is why forgiveness is so important. We don’t just forgive people so they can know they are forgiven; we do it so we can be freed from the weight of the hurt they have caused us. Remember, Jesus forgives and frees us from our sin. Don’t waste that freedom by trapping yourself in anger. Choose mercy instead.

Reflection:

Who is someone you are struggling to forgive right now?

Prayer:

“God, thank You for showing us how to forgive through the life of Jesus. And thank You for forgiving me of my sins. Please help me to follow Your Word by forgiving others, even when I don’t feel like it. I know as I show forgiveness, it will point others to You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
