Give and Takeਨਮੂਨਾ

Imagine you're learning to speak a new language. At first, every syllable feels awkward, but with practice, it gets easier. Eventually, you can connect with new people in a new way. Forgiveness is a lot like that. It's not a one-time event but a skill we build over time. Being kind and compassionate, even to those who've hurt us, is like speaking a new language—the language of forgiveness. Just like communication brings us closer to others, forgiveness does the same.

To help memorize this verse, try the "hand motion" method. Create a simple gesture for each keyword: "kind" (thumbs up), "compassionate" (hand over heart), "forgiving" (hands outstretched), "Christ" (point up), "forgave" (wipe hands clean). Practice these motions while saying the verse to help you remember the value of forgiveness.
