The Art of Forgiveness

Colossians 3:13 Forgiveness is the oil that keeps the engine of marriage running smoothly. In Colossians, Paul urges us to forgive each other just as the Lord forgave us. This is particularly poignant in marriage, where two people share life's highs and lows, often leading to disagreements and hurt feelings.

Forgiveness in marriage isn't about keeping score but about resetting the score. It's recognizing that holding onto grudges or resentment only builds walls between hearts.

True forgiveness involves understanding, empathy, and a conscious decision to let go of past hurts.

It's not just saying "I forgive you" but showing it in actions and attitudes.

Today, think about a time you struggled to forgive in your marriage.

What held you back?

Reflect on the freedom and peace that comes with forgiveness, and consider a step you can take towards healing and reconciliation.

Remember, forgiveness isn't a sign of weakness but a testament to the strength of your love and commitment to each other.
