EP 4: Releasing Offense Through Forgiveness
Listen in as we explore the challenging yet transformative power of forgiveness, a subject often easier said than done. Join Megan Ashley she shares personal stories and experiences, shedding light on the significance of releasing offenses and finding freedom through forgiving ourselves. In the episode we refer to a powerful devotional by Jackie Hill Perry, which emphasizes forgiveness as a path to redemption and becoming a 'new creature'. We further illuminate the discussion by examining the story of Joseph from the Bible, who forgave his brothers despite their betrayal.In our quest to understand the complexities of forgiveness, we underscore the importance of letting go of the past and seeing ourselves through God's eyes, to avoid falling into the trap of self-condemnation. The spiritual hindrance unforgiveness can bring, and the barriers it can erect in our relationship with God and his promises. With references to David's angry words towards God, I encourage listeners to acknowledge their anger, release it, and choose forgiveness. This episode is a heartfelt call to healing and freedom through the power and necessity of forgiveness.Other topics you will hear:-Healing-Spiritual Growth-Resentment-Power of Forgiveness -Releasing Offenses-Freedom-Self-Doubt-Divine WisdomThank you to our sponsors: L'Oreal Paris Discover the new L'Oreal Paris Bright Reveal Dark Spot Duo!
