Session 5: A Command, Not a Suggestion

I want to remind you that for those of us who follow Christ, forgiveness is a command, not a suggestion.

My Final Thoughts on Radical Forgiveness:

• Before the apology: Jesus modeled that we should forgive even before there is repentance or an apology.
• Let it go: I see so much pain from family drama, addiction, and abandonment. I truly believe Jesus didn’t create us to carry that weight.
• Gratitude over fairness: Forgiveness doesn’t flow from things being “fair”; it flows from my gratitude for the grace God has given me.

I challenge you to look inside: Who do you need to forgive? And don’t forget to forgive yourself for the things you aren’t proud of.
