I know we all have dealt with unforgiveness. It’s hard to forgive those who’ve hurt us. Proverbs 17:9-11 says LOVE will prosper when a fault is forgiven. Maybe you’ve asked God to send you a good partner. But God cant send you a good partner until you forgive that father you’ve been holding a grudg

Forgiveness is Hard
My head has been spinning for months. I thought I forgave the person who I never thought would crush my heart. Listening to this book made me realize I didn’t; I just pushed it away. It’s been a rocky roller coaster. I will forgive for me because I need peace of mind and heart.

Forgiveness is self-care
One of the biggest lies people believe about forgiveness is that it’s “too hard.” Forgiveness becomes hard when we misunderstand what it actually means. Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting. Forgiveness doesn’t mean trusting again. Forgiveness doesn’t mean the offense was acceptable.

Forgiveness isn’t forgetting
I’ve carried pain for most of my life. Not grudges—but pain. Growing up in a home filled with anger and abuse, where I had to learn to take care of my own emotional needs… it left me always in fight or flight. As an adult, I’ve tried to move on and have relationships without needing an apolog

✨ Forgiveness: A Heart Posture God Calls Us To ✨
Forgiveness isn’t always easy. Sometimes the hurt runs deep, the disappointment lingers, and the situation feels unfair. But God calls us to forgive not because people deserve it, but because our hearts deserve peace. Forgiveness is more about releasing the weight off you than excusing what someone

How To Work Through The Process Of Forgiveness For Increased Wellness
So what is forgiveness, really? Why does it take so long? And why do feelings come back even when we think we’ve “moved on”? Forgiveness is not approval. Forgiveness is not reconciliation. Forgiveness is not weakness. Forgiveness is not about becoming someone who never feels anger or hurt again

Forgiveness is how you heal 🫶🏼🤎
As I was reading my Bible (Matthew 18), I came across the part where Peter asked Jesus in verses 21–22, “Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?” And Jesus replied, “No, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.” Then in verses 23–35, Jesus goes on to share the

Quotes About Forgiveness
Why is it so hard to forgive? Why can’t we forget and move on? Forgiveness takes time. The mind will mess with you and keep holding onto that painful memory. We’re setting ourselves up to be a prisoner, to a memory, when we can’t forgive and forget. Someone may need to hear this today. #forgivene

Forgiveness is necessary for healing 🌸
Sometimes the hardest thing you’ll ever do is forgive someone and still walk away. Choosing yourself doesn’t make you selfish…it makes you free. This is your reminder that healing isn’t about holding on, it’s about letting go and protecting your peace. 🕊️✨ #healingyourself #forgivness #selflove

It’s never easy when someone does wrong to you and you’re set in your ways “I’ll never forgive them” “I’ll never forget what they did to me”. You hold a lot of hate and resentment towards them for what they did wrong to you. But God says forgive others as I have forgiven you. You are no saint y
