“If you forgive others… your Father will forgive you.”
— Matthew 6:14 NASB1995
⛔ Forgiveness: Not a Suggestion
Jesus isn’t being poetic here. He’s being direct. If you want to live in God’s forgiveness, you have to forgive others. That doesn’t mean it’s easy—it means it’s necessary.
Forgiveness is less about freeing the other person and more about freeing you.
🖊 Real Talk:
- Who’s living rent-free in your head right now?
- Are you holding on to pain God is asking you to release?
✨ Try This:
Write a letter you don’t send. Say what you need to say, then forgive. Pray over it. Then shred it.
✍️ Prayer:
Lord, I don’t want bitterness in my life. Teach me how to forgive, even when it’s hard. 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.
