God showed me how holding onto unforgiveness binds us to pain, blocking joy, peace, and blessings. It’s not about excusing the hurt but about releasing it to Him and choosing freedom. Just as God forgives us, we are called to extend grace to others and ourselves. Forgiveness opens the door to healing and aligns our hearts with God’s purpose for our lives.

Skipping this process can prevent you from experiencing the amazing things God has in store for you. When we neglect to heal, we risk sabotaging the very blessings and opportunities God is trying to bring into our lives. Take the time to heal—it may be painful, but the process is worth it.
