The difficult truth is that there is no perfect forgiveness. We can listen to this episode and do so much better with it, however we are all human and our first instinct is to get angry and hold grudges. That’s the truth.
Practicing forgiveness is extremely valuable in your life. Not only does Jesus talk about it a whole lot in the Bible, it is mentioned in other texts outside of the Bible in many other ways. Even if it is one of the most difficult things to do, it can be the most rewarding when we choose to forgive others who have done wrong to us.
Lianna and David share their experiences of un-forgiveness and forgiveness in this episode and about the struggles that they have had in the past from when they did not directly deal with un-forgiveness.
Forgiveness can be difficult and scary to do or to start doing; however, it is your choice and God will guide and give you strength and insights in your forgiveness journey.
