Key Passage: Ephesians 4:32 – “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”
Message:
Forgiveness is one of the most difficult yet powerful acts we can choose. It’s not about excusing hurt, but releasing ourselves from the grip of bitterness.
Paul calls us to a higher standard—not just to forgive, but to do so as Christ forgave us: freely, fully, and with compassion. Forgiveness isn’t weakness—it’s strength guided by grace.
When we forgive, we reflect the heart of God and create space for healing in both our lives and others’.
Application:
Think of someone you need to forgive. Begin by praying for them today, even if your heart isn’t ready yet.
Prayer:
Jesus, thank You for forgiving me. Help me extend that same grace to others. Teach me to love like You—even when it’s hard. Amen.
