I forgive you…these can be some of the hardest words to say to someone, yet these three simple words are also some of the most powerful words that we could say…they have the ability to bring so much freedom into your life.
What is forgiveness…many times when we think of the word forgiveness, we associate it with our emotions and our feelings…how we feel about someone and what they did to us, but did you know that forgiveness has nothing to do with our feelings or our emotions?
Forgiveness is a choice. It is extending grace to someone even when they don’t deserve it…and many times, they don’t deserve it.
Grace is not getting what we deserve, but getting what Jesus deserves.
When we extend grace to someone, we are basically saying…what you did was wrong, but because Jesus has forgiven me, I will forgive you even though you don’t deserve it.
And this might help you…you don’t have to even like the person who you are forgiving. Just because you forgive someone, doesn’t mean that you have to enter back into a friendship or a relationship with that person.
Unforgiveness doesn’t hurt the person that hurt you…it only hurts you.
So, how do we forgive? What does that look like? Before we get into that, let’s see what Jesus says about forgiveness.
Check out this week's episode of the UncommonTEEN Podcast to learn more about what it looks like to forgive.
