Episode notes
The Difficulty of Forgiveness
- Forgiveness is the hardest thing to do and often avoided despite being widely spoken about among Christians.
- Admitting the difficulty of forgiveness is healthier than pretending it has been easily accomplished.
Choose Forgiveness Before Feeling It
- Choose to forgive others before you feel like it; forgiveness is a decision, not a feeling.
- Pray to forgive those who hurt you, even if it feels like the last thing you want to do.
Forgiveness Unsticks The Deed
- Forgiveness is a voluntary gift that unsticks the harmful deed from the person who did it.
- It involves keeping no record of wrongs and not defining people by their mistakes.
