What Forgiveness Is And What It Isn‘t

Mon picks up from last week and continues the conversation on forgiveness. He reads the passage of the parable of the unforgiving servant told by Jesus to Peter when he asked him a question about how many times he should forgive.One of the reasons why forgiveness can be difficult to either extend or ask for is because we tend to have a false understanding of what it is. There is a difference between experiencing anger and holding grudges. Here, Mon shares three (3) points of reflection to help define what forgiveness is and what it is not:It's not a feeling; it's a decision.It's not a license; it's a step toward freedom.It's not reconciliation (although it can lead to that); it is an act of faith.Music by Kayel MarceloPASSAGES / REFERENCES / RESOURCESMatthew 18:21-35Matthew 6:11-12Matthew 18:15Proverbs 28:13James 5:161 John 1:9Ephesians 4:32Psalm 103:10-13Find all of Mon's links here: ⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/talkswithmon⁠(including how to book him as a speaker and how to support the show)
