Forgiveness is one of the hardest commands in Scripture… and also one of the most freeing ✝️🤍
Romans 12:19 tells us not to avenge ourselves, but to leave justice to God. And honestly, that can feel unfair. When someone hurts you deeply, everything in you wants balance, answers, repayment.
But forgiveness was never about fairness.
If God were fair with us, we’d all be in trouble. What we receive instead is grace.
Hebrews 12:15 warns us about bitterness how it quietly takes root, then poisons not just our hearts, but the lives of others around us. Bitterness doesn’t punish the offender. It imprisons the wounded.
Holding onto resentment keeps yesterday alive in today.
It allows people from your past to keep hurting you long after they’re gone.
God doesn’t ask you to deny the pain.
He asks you to release the burden.
To trust that He will settle what you cannot.
Forgiveness is not weakness.
It’s wisdom.
It’s choosing peace over poison.
Take a quiet moment today and ask yourself: What hurt am I still carrying?
Then pray, even simply, “Lord, help me let this go.” 🤍
