Forgive the Person, Not Their Actions

Today we continue our weeklong focus on forgiveness by looking at the idea of separating out our forgiveness of the person from their actions. It’s often our failure to do this separation that keeps us from engaging in the lifegiving command to forgive. But God has wisdom and revelation for us today as we look at his word, and freedom for our hearts today if we’ll engage with him in prayer. May you find newfound freedom from the weight of unforgiveness today. Our Scripture for today comes from  John 13:34, and today's worship is  Forgiven  by David Crowder. -- Thanks so much for listening to today’s podcast.    If you feel the freedom and courage from separating a person from his or her actions to finally forgive, I want to encourage you to take hold of that courage right now and do it. Initiate a conversation with them, that you might finally rid yourself of this weight of unforgiveness. No matter how difficult the conversation, it will be worth it.    Have a wonderful rest of your day, and may God bless you as you seek him.
