Give and TakeSample

(VIDEO TRANSCRIPT BELOW)

Think about the last time you messed up. How did it feel when someone forgave you, especially if you didn’t think you deserved it? That’s a glimpse of what God does for us! God forgives us completely, not because we’ve earned it but because of love. And with that, God invites us to share that forgiveness with others. It’s like receiving an amazing gift and being able to give it to someone else. This give-and-take of forgiveness doesn't mean ignoring injustice or letting people walk all over us. It means choosing to break the cycle of hurt and resentment by offering forgiveness in place of revenge. Remember, you can forgive someone while also setting new boundaries to protect yourself. That’s perfectly okay!

Today, ask yourself, is there someone you need to forgive? Start by praying for them and ask God to help you heal from any hurt. Take a moment to write down your feelings and what boundaries you might need to set moving forward.
