Join Robyn and Monique as they start to unpack the healing that comes with forgiveness and the negative effect un-forgiveness has on us.
Key Points:
- Offense is a Choice: Choosing to love and forgive, rather than harbor resentment, breaks the offense's power.
- Humility is Essential: Humility assists both in forgiving others and mengakui our own faults that have caused hurt.
- Love Covers All Offenses: God’s love helps us extend grace and cover hurts, promoting reconciliation and unity.
- Communication and Boundaries: It's vital to communicate our feelings respectfully and establish healthy boundaries if needed.
- Understanding Love Languages: Acknowledging someone's love language can help us interpret their intentions and actions more accurately.
