Freedom Through Forgiveness · Sunday 9 August 2026

This morning, I want to share about forgiveness and how God helped me with it. Years ago, I attended a boarding school where I was bullied by another student. When I returned home, I encountered him again and told him how much I disliked him. Years later, during a school reunion, seeing his name brought up anxiety and discomfort. I realised I needed to forgive him, but I struggled. A friend shared with me about his difficult life, which softened my heart and helped me let go. After forgiving him, I found peace and was no longer anxious or angry. I learned that holding onto unforgiveness can torment your mind and even affect your health. By focusing on Jesus and what He did on the cross, I was able to forgive and find peace. I encourage anyone struggling with unforgiveness to take it to the Lord, as true peace is found in Him.

✠️ FROM THE WORD
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose.

— Romans 8:28 (KJV)

What did the Lord say to you while reading this — and what will you do about it before the week is out?
