💡 "Forgiveness isn’t weakness—it’s power."

Ever held onto a hurt so long that it started shaping you? Unforgiveness is heavy—it drains our joy, clogs our hearts, and keeps us locked in the past. But here’s the truth: Forgiveness doesn’t just change situations—it transforms lives.

In today’s episode, we explore the freedom that comes from forgiveness. Ephesians 4:32 reminds us that we are called to forgive just as Christ forgave us. That kind of forgiveness isn’t easy, but it’s powerful. It doesn’t mean forgetting what happened or pretending it didn’t hurt—it means releasing the burden to God and letting His grace heal you.

Who do you need to forgive today? A friend? A family member? Yourself? Forgiveness isn’t about excusing the pain—it’s about choosing freedom over bitterness. And when you take that step, you’re not just letting go of hurt—you’re making space for God to heal and restore.

1. Is there someone in your life you’ve struggled to forgive? How has holding onto that hurt affected you?
2. What would it look like to release the pain to God, even if the other person never apologizes?
3. How does remembering God’s forgiveness toward you help you extend grace to others?
