What forgiveness isn’t is as important as what it is

Tuesday Trench Truth

Most of us have been taught about the value of forgiveness, the why of forgiveness and even the how of forgiveness. In my own SOAR journey, I am also learning what forgiveness isn’t, and this has made forgiveness a lot more possible

Forgiveness isn’t…easy or pain free!

Forgiveness isn’t…just a feeling-because what our feelings can’t do, the blood of Christ has and always will do.
Forgiveness isn’t agreement…with the wrong committed or with the wrongdoer.

Forgiveness isn’t a one-time event…but often a journey because life keeps happening to remind us of the wrong and even the cost of it
Forgiveness isn’t “letting them off the hook”; it’s letting you off, setting you free
Forgiveness isn’t boundaryless; in fact, forgiveness can teach us boundaries
Forgiveness isn’t…always reconciliation or restoration.

Forgiveness isn’t…impossible
Who are you handcuffed to in unforgiveness? I pray these truths resonate in your soul and help set you free

Forgiven and forgiving
