Forgiveness
In the practice of forgiving, we learn to extend the grace God gives us to those who have done us harm.
Crawl
The journey toward forgiveness begins with acknowledging the forgiveness we have received. Reflect on the ways God has forgiven you. Write them down, being as specific as you can. The goal is not to stir up guilt over past failures; it’s to inspire gratitude for the forgiveness we have received from God. After thanking God for his grace in these sins, destroy the paper as a reminder of God’s complete forgiveness in your life.
