Have you ever rushed to class while carrying a heavy backpack? It's exhausting, right? Well, holding grudges is a lot like that! It weighs us down and makes everything more difficult. Jesus says that forgiveness isn't just about the other person; it's about freeing ourselves, too. When we forgive, we're not saying what happened was okay. We're saying that we're choosing to let go of the weight of resentment. It's like taking the stuff out of our backpack bit by bit. And here's the key: Our ability to receive forgiveness is connected to our willingness to give it. That’s why we all must forgive like we’ve been forgiven.
Today, take a moment to consider if there is anyone you need to forgive. What weights do you need to remove from your backpack? Share this with a trusted friend or Small Group Leader and ask for their support as you work through this process.
