Today we’re discussing Chapter 7 which is titled “Choosing to remember no more.” Or as I like to call it … Forgiveness.
I had to laugh — not like ha-ha, more like how’d she do that!? — as I was reading. Lara managed to sum up in one beautiful chapter what took me an entire book to write!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Forgiveness is one of the hardest things we’re called to do … especially when we’ve been seriously wronged.
But.
Forgiveness is one of the most important things we’re called to do.
I believe with everything inside of me, when we call on God to help us through our struggles with forgiveness, He’ll meet us above and beyond our expectations. And truly … a true heart forgiveness just isn’t possible without His help and guidance.
This week Francie is hosting our discussion over on her blog … meet me there?

I agree that forgiving someone who dd something wrong to us is very hard! But with the grace of our God, this is possible. For those people struggling about forgiving someone, I highly recommend reading 2 Corinthians 2:5-11 (Forgiveness for the Offender), it really helps!!! :)
