Sorry Not SorrySample

HEAR // You know that feeling of carrying around guilt? And then the feeling of being forgiven by the person you wronged? Doesn’t it feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of your shoulders? Now, when you read this verse, it might not seem very powerful at first. But there’s a small word in there that makes it more impactful than it might first appear. It’s the word, as. Meaning, I can have the weight of guilt lifted from my shoulders AS I lift the weight from someone else’s. In other words, forgiveness isn’t just about doing the right thing. It’s about making our lives—and the life of the person we are forgiving—better. Take some time today and think about a time when someone forgave you for something you did wrong. How did that forgiveness make you feel?
