Lord I Struggle with Forgiveness - 16th March

Thank you Bruce for your daily devotionals today’s so resonated with me

Good morning Bruce
Thank you
So many words i needed to hear
don’t have to re-instate (unfortunately a mom)
I did not know for 42 if i forgive but do not want contact if it was really forgiving

Thank you for the wonderful talk on Forgiveness. It was just what I needed. For many reasons. The feeling of freedom is coming soon. I can almost hear God telling me, he is Blessing me. God Bless.

Thank you for this devotional and for the series. God bless.

Thank you Bruce for this very important message about forgiveness!!! Forgiveness can be very difficult, I agree Bruce!!! Thank you for the insights as well as those three important tasks that are very helpful!!! I will be seeing this message again and take seriously these helpful tasks!!! I’d also like to share, that suppressing the wounds, as if the hurt never happened, putting it all behind I found, does not eliminate but actually festers and can cause trouble in our minds, our hearts as well as our bodies.

I think forgiveness is what I struggle with the most. It’s a few family members that I struggle forgiving, and what makes me sad is they are people that I had relationships with growing up, they’ve hurt people close to me and myself. I believe I have forgiven them, I have a relationship with them, but not like it was, trust seems to be my issue. But I will continue on this journey of forgiveness and it is a journey. Thank you Lord God, and your wonderful ministry for your love and guidance.

The power of prayer is healing. Thank you.

Thank you. Two takeaways today. Permission to fully forgive for me alone. And The need to turn my self hurts into strength and add my voice to theukraine sisters and brothers with prayer more than i have. Ukraine seemed completely hopeless to me until just now. Bonus is for the first time i feel my terrible sin is forgiven so who am i to withhold..

Appreciate the thoughts on Ukraine and it’s citizens…prayers for all.🌷

You nailed it! Knew you would! You truly are setting the captives free! I join your heartfelt prayers for this crisis and Jesus….We Trust in You!! This too shall pass!

Thank you, this lesson is one I need to listen over and over too. I have un-forgivenness for my mother in law, who is a diagnosed narcissist and as such has created damage in her family to a multi generational degree. The lesson to go in the direction that God is calling me too, to forgive touch my heart. Truly, the family suffers by not forgiving, as we are the ones with empathy, and pain in the situation. The narcissist has none, by nature. 95 years old and still inflicting pain, Forgiveness is a must for me, as I am… Read more »

Very interesting. Clearly God’s forgiving us is based on our forgiving others. With God’s forgiveness, however, there is a reunion, because we are reinstated to right standing due to God’s forgetting our sin.
Is there a different standard then for human forgiveness vs. God’s forgiveness?
Thank You!

Forgiveness of others is the gift of peace that we give ourselves.
