Practicing Forgiveness

The Way of Forgiveness | Part 2

Forgiveness is rarely easy. When we’ve been wronged, anger feels justified and holding onto the hurt can feel powerful. But what begins as a desire for justice can quietly turn into bitterness, and bitterness always traps the one who carries it. Forgiveness is not pretending the pain didn’t happen; it’s choosing to release the debt. It’s surrendering the right to make someone pay and trusting God with justice instead. As we learn to name the hurt, cancel the debt, and close the ledger, we find the freedom that comes from living as people who have been deeply forgiven.
