How to Forgive Deep Hurt in Church and Family
Bro. John Barnabas
Some wounds come from strangers. The deepest often come from family or church. Jesus still commands forgiveness — and He helps us obey.
“Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” — Colossians 3:13
What Forgiveness Is Not
- Not denying abuse
- Not removing wise boundaries
- Not instant warm feelings
What Forgiveness Is
A decision to cancel the debt of revenge, entrust justice to God, and refuse to let bitterness rule your future.
