BittersweetSample

Have you ever been able to forgive someone before they apologized? That takes a huge amount of strength! But this is exactly what Christ did for us. Jesus loved us so much that He was willing to die so we might see how worthy He thinks we are. He didn’t wait until we realized how much we get it wrong. He didn’t lecture us or condemn us. He decided to show us love by offering forgiveness before we even knew we needed it. His love made the first move! Who in your life could use that message of unconditional love and forgiveness? Talk to them about how you’ve experienced God’s forgiveness in your life this week.

About this Plan

Okay so you've forgiven, but how can you tell if it's even working? The hurt, frustration, or confusion is still very real and "they" never actually said sorry. It can feel sweet to stay bitter. But maybe there's a better answer. We'll learn how when you don't forgive, it hurts you, that everybody needs forgiveness, and how it's okay that healing doesn't always happen overnight.
