The Limit of Forgiveness is Limitless: Family Reflection Video

The Limit of Forgiveness is Limitless: Family Reflection Video

Healing the family

Why is it so hard to forgive?

We may be willing to forgive once or twice but not over and over again. We tend to nurse our grudges and grievances rather than take steps that lead to reconciliation.

Human forgiveness is possible only when we have experienced God’s forgiveness. When we encounter His outrageous grace, we are transformed. This good news can break the chains of revenge and bitterness, and offers an alternative to hatred, envy and revenge.

Forgive without limits! Is hatred or anger weighing on your heart? Give the burden to God. Let go and forgive the ones you love.

Pray for all broken families and relationships. That everyone can find the strength to open their hearts, forgive and live peaceful lives.
