In life, God gives you plenty of opportunities to practice forgiveness, but nobody would call forgiveness easy. It’s easy to look at someone and say, “They should know better.” But thinking this way takes you down a path of judgment rather than one of forgiveness.What if God used your act of forgiveness to change somebody else? God can’t use you for change if you’re harboring resentment or lacking forgiveness. People change because you correct them in love, are consistent in your actions and expectations, and praise them through their small victories.Forgiveness doesn’t have to be about forgetting. It’s about choosing to love people despite their flaws. It’s about loving the unlovable, reaching the unreachable, and offering grace to those who need it most. God will use forgiveness to change you, as well as to change others.
