Just as it is within God’s nature to forgive, forgiving is woven into our nature as well. We were created by God to be in relationship with one another and one of the gifts that God has given us to maintain healthy relationships is forgiveness. Given how often we hurt one another, forgiveness may be the one thing that keeps our relationships from coming apart at the seams. Forgiveness helps mend our relationships when they are torn by disappointment, hurt, and betrayal. We humans have a huge capacity for forgiveness, a capacity that can go untapped because unplugging from a relationship may feel easier than doing the hard work of forgiving. But forgiveness is how we respond to God’s grace, setting it free to do God’s work within us and our relationships. It’s how we heal, renew, and reclaim our identity as God’s beloved children. Join is for this brief sermon series on Sundays February 7 and February 14.
