21 Days to Life-Changing ConfidenceSample

Whenever people see the word detox, most think about a body detox like a juice cleanse or a health fast. But if your soul isn’t right, the health of your body becomes irrelevant. The number-one toxin that does the most spiritual damage (and, when removed, provides us the greatest value) is unforgiveness. Forgiveness isn’t a feeling; it’s an action.

When Jesus forgave us, He canceled our debt, releasing us from the penalty that we’d never be able to repay. If we expect to be in God’s house and call Him Father, we are commanded to forgive others too. So what would it look like if we forgave in advance before an apology?

Plus, forgiveness benefits us. I’ve heard that holding a grudge is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. Unforgiveness is toxic to our souls. You’ve already been forgiven by God. Now it’s time to forgive others, too.

"Shouldn't you have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?" MATTHEW 18:33

DECLARATION:

I am released by God. Because He doesn't hold anything against me, I won't hold anything against others. I am confident that my best spiritual life is on the other side of forgiveness.
