Forgiveness Releases the Heart
Forgiveness is not the denial of wrongโ€”it is the refusal to let bitterness rule the soul. Scripture shows us that Godโ€™s mercy restores us, even when earthly consequences remain. David was forgiven, yet the effects of his choices still unfolded (2 Samuel 12:13โ€“14). Grace removes condemnation, but
