Saying things you don't mean when you're going through pain or hurt can be frustrating because after you say it, you end up regretting it and wanting to take it back. Have you ever felt you'd do anything to make things right after you messed up? Yeah, that's a tricky spot to be in. It feels like the most we can do is ask for forgiveness and hope for the best.
It's hard to see how necessary forgiveness is until you're on the receiving end. It feels like a weight has been lifted from your shoulders. You'll most likely want to do better and even appreciate your relationship more than you did before.
Today's Bible verses focus on how Peter asks Jesus, "How many times should we forgive others?" Jesus reminds his disciples it's more important to live with a habit of forgiving others rather than keeping score. The most important thing about forgiveness is a renewed relationship.
Take a moment to think about how it felt when someone forgave you.

About this Plan
Apologies — they’re hard to give, but they’re sometimes hard to receive, too. When you’re the one who has hurt someone else, saying you’re sorry (and actually meaning it) takes work and practice. But when you’re the one who’s been hurt by someone else, things get even more complicated. In this 20-day devotional series from Grow Curriculum, we'll unpack apologies and forgiveness.
