“For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.”
— Matthew 6:14–15 NASB1995
❤️ A Heart That Lets Goy
Forgiveness is not optional in the Kingdom. Jesus ties our experience of God’s mercy to our willingness to show mercy. Forgiveness is the fruit of knowing we’ve been forgiven much.
Unforgiveness builds a wall in our relationship with God. But grace tears it down. We forgive not because others deserve it—but because we didn’t either.
🔗 Ante-Nicene Reflection
The early Church placed high value on reconciliation. Before partaking in communion or gathering for worship, believers were expected to make peace. Forgiveness was central to their walk with Christ.
💭 Reflect
- Is there anyone I’m still holding a debt against?
- Am I walking in the freedom that comes with forgiving?
✨ Prayer
Father, thank You for forgiving me. Help me to forgive others as You have forgiven me—completely and freely. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
