Bittersweet

DAY 11 OF 21

Did you know that God is eager to forgive you? And by eager, I mean He is excited, thrilled, and happy to forgive! That forgiveness is displayed in the ultimate expression of love by what Jesus did for us on the cross: willingly dying so we could be sure of how God feels about us. Take a minute and think about the way Jesus has demonstrated His love for you—through the cross, through forgiveness, through the everyday actions of others, and through the evidence of creation. No matter what we may have thought of God before, today choose to think of God how this psalm does: as a God eager to forgive. As a God who is God. As a God who is so much better than we could possibly imagine.

About this Plan

Bittersweet

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.
