The Healing Power of Forgiveness

Few Christians realize nearly every problem in life stems from an unwillingness to forgive someone. When we hold grudges, seek retribution, and blame others, we end up hurting our relationships with God and people–and short-circuit our ability to live the Christian live the way it’s meant to be lived.

Why is forgiveness so difficult at times? Must we forgive when it’s the other person’s fault? How should we handle repeat offenses? What if we feel we can’t forgive because we’ve been hurt so badly?

Pritchard answers these questions and more by pointing to God’s example as the Supreme Forgiver. When we learn to forgive in the way He forgives, then we’ll know true freedom, peace, and emotional healing.
