+Sometimes we feel like others don’t deserve our forgiveness for what they’ve said or done.
+We feel justified in withholding forgiveness from them, but in reality, we’re only storing up more anger, bitterness, and sadness.
+Forgiving others actually gives us the freedom to move forward from our pain.
+Just because we’ve been hurt in the past doesn’t mean we should shut others out or shut down our hearts.
+We shouldn’t put the sins of people from our past on those we meet in the future.
+That limited life is not what God wants for us.
+When we choose to surrender to God’s will for our lives and forgive daily, we can walk through every day as a restored child of God.
+With God’s help, we can get to a place where we trust Him completely with our past and our future.
+He uses what’s happened in our lives to draw us closer to Him.
+He builds our faith up until we know He will heal us again because He healed us before.
+He gives our pain purpose by using us to encourage someone else through their struggle.
+When we surrender our pain and allow God to heal us, we can freely forgive others and be grateful for whatever happens because we know He will use our story for His glory.
+We’re called to love more and forgive more as we become more like Jesus.
๐God, letting go of hurtful circumstances and forgiving others can be a difficult process.
+Knowing this, I'm so thankful You have forgiven me of all my mistakes.
+Help me to be more like You, and guide me as I forgive those who have hurt me.
+I don't want to have any more bitterness lingering in my heart. In Jesus' name, Amen. ☝️๐❣️☺️
