Have you ever met someone who changes how they behave depending on who they are around? They can be the nicest person around people they like but mean and negative towards those they disagree with. God is nothing like that. God is good, and God’s goodness towards us isn’t based on our behavior but on who God is: merciful, kind, and loving. So, we should ask ourselves: Do people see the real me? Does the real me show off God’s mercifulness, kindness, and love?
What’s one thing you can start doing today to make forgiveness and mercy a genuine part of your reputation?

About this Plan

Okay so you've forgiven, but how can you tell if it's even working? The hurt, frustration, or confusion is still very real and "they" never actually said sorry. It can feel sweet to stay bitter. But maybe there's a better answer. We'll learn how when you don't forgive, it hurts you, that everybody needs forgiveness, and how it's okay that healing doesn't always happen overnight.
