Forgiveness

Forgiveness is one of the hardest and yet most essential parts of our faith. We all carry around so much on our shoulders—pain from things that have been done to us, our own sins against others, and our inability to forgive ourselves. But we believe in a God who loves us no matter what, and is constantly ready to forgive. That’s what Jesus calls us to emulate. Be ready to forgive others, even and especially when it is hard. It’s by dealing with the pain, rather than moving quickly and forgiving cheaply, that we find real healing and reconciliation with our neighbor and with God.
