Devotional

Freedom often comes in unexpected packages. Sometimes, the key to our freedom lies in releasing something we've been tightly holding onto - like unforgiveness. When we choose to forgive, we're not just freeing the other person; we're freeing ourselves. Think about it: God's forgiveness toward us isn't based on our worthiness but on His love and mercy. Similarly, our forgiveness toward others shouldn't be based on whether they deserve it. When we align our hearts with God's heart of forgiveness, we experience a freedom that transcends our circumstances.

Bible Verse

"When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins." - Colossians 2:13
