Is it really “forgive and forget”? When we forgive people, are we saying what they did is ok? Jesus in Matthew 6:14-15 calls us to always forgive. God forgives us no matter what we do, and we’re supposed to follow that example. It can be really hard, especially because forgiveness is hard to define. So today we look at what it is and what it isn’t. We also have to confront the fact that God will not forgive us when we deny others forgiveness.
Challenge: Write down five ways God’s forgiven you. Just the first five that come to mind. Write ‘em down and sit in that moment, reflecting on how God’s forgiveness is so big for you. And then pray over that list, thanking God for his forgiveness for you and asking Him to allow you to forgive others this week.
