One Thing to Grow Your Marriage Each DayPrzykład

The hardest people to forgive

Devotional Content: 

Have you ever wondered why the hardest people to forgive are sometimes the ones we love the most? Maybe it’s because we let our guard down with them and become very vulnerable. Maybe it’s because we don’t want to give them a chance to hurt us again. The paradox is that even though we know that the possibility of reconciliation will never happen without forgiveness (which is usually what we truly desire), we hold on to our unforgiveness. 

So what about your marriage? Is there something you are holding on to that is limiting your marriage? Is it keeping you from embracing all God has for your marriage? If there is, maybe today is the day to forgive. If you’re not currently withholding forgiveness from your spouse, focus on keeping a heart of forgiveness for your spouse. It really goes back to God asking us to forgive—He has forgiven more than any of us can ever imagine. He is our model of what forgiveness is all about.

Today’s One Thing: If you have any unforgiveness toward your spouse, begin the process of forgiveness today!
