The Secret of Forgiveness
Bad days are the results of things that happen, and things that happen are the results of what people do. People who misunderstand. People who intend to hurt us. People who forget or neglect to do something. People who betray or violate us.
Jesus teaches the secret of forgiveness: Forgiving those who hurt you is the key to not being permanently victimized by them. Whatever the initial impact of any offense you experience by others, your refusal to react, carry a grudge, or seek to retaliate in kind secures the high ground. But it must be as real as the Savior’s forgiveness, not merely an exercise in self-control.

About this Plan
Pastor Jack Hayford points the way to the life-changing pathway of praise. No matter how you feel, praise will shape what your experiences will become. When doubts come, praise God that His Word will never fail you. When fears taunt, praise God that His presence never leaves you. When questions arise, praise God that His wisdom holds every answer. Praise leads you to the One who assures peace beyond strife, hope beyond trial, joy beyond sorrow, and life beyond all.
