Forgiving What You Can't Forget

by Lysa Terkeust

What if forgiveness isn’t supposed to be another hard thing we have to do? What if it’s the necessary step to finally experience the peace we desperately want but can’t seem to get any other way? What if forgiveness is what’s been missing in all the relational chaos we’re so worn out from dealing with in our lives? These are some of the questions we’ll be sitting with in this study. There’s no rush to answer them or even to like them right now. There’s also no judgment for any resistance we may currently be feeling toward forgiveness. God gives us full permission to show up with our most honest and vulnerable thoughts and emotions. But He also wants us to bring our willingness. A willingness to open our hearts to the possibility that forgiveness truly is one of the most healing, crucial, and beautiful gifts from Him.
