Forgiveness Versus Trust
What comes after forgiveness? “Many people are reluctant to show mercy because they don’t understand the difference between trust and forgiveness. Forgiveness is letting go of the past. Trust has to do with future behavior.” Rick Warren.
Here are some highlights from today’s video:
- “When you forgive, you release the past, not the memory of it, but the pain of it.” Pastor Duane Vander Klok
- Forgiveness doesn’t mean staying in harm's way.
- Forgiveness will free you, but boundaries may still be needed to protect you.
- It's okay to let authorities deal with those who hurt us.
- Refusing to let forgiveness flow out of our lives stops it from flowing into our lives, too.
About this Plan
Forgiveness is central to the Christian life, but often hard to give. This 8-day devotional explores why we should forgive, what happens if we don't, and how to begin the process. With Jesus as our model, we'll look at practical steps, biblical truths, and the freedom found in forgiving others and ourselves. Forgiveness isn't easy, but it is possible, and it's the path to healing, peace, freedom, & new life in Christ.
