pickA practical devotional and guide on how to really forgive someone. It is based on God's word and has exercises for every week. It is clinical, but easy to comprehend.
I enjoyed the devotional, as it helped me truly forgive my family from hurts that occurred as a child, teenager, and young adult. It helped me to realize that I can still love them, forgive them, but I don't have to have their toxicity in my life. It helped me realize that no⬇️
There was something inside me, some hopeful, small faltering voice that said, “There‘s room for you.” I don‘t know why, but I trusted that voice.
God made a world of extraordinary beauty, and sometimes the most important thing we can do is slow ourselves down enough to see it, hear it, smell it, taste it, enter into it.
“We love big stories….but sometimes being courageous means less, quieter, stiller, smaller.”
We were made to be the things that He is: forgivers, redeemers, second chance givers, truth tellers, hope bringers.
The food and table and the laughter help to create sacred space, a place to give someone the gift of words. That‘s what some of the best nights are about—sacred space and words of love.
Meals can be so much more than refueling stops. When we slow down to enjoy the food and the company and think about what we‘re doing, meals can nourish our spirits as well as our bodies.
When we stop to gather around the table and eat a meal made by someone‘s hands, we honor our bodies and the God who created them. And in that moment we acknowledge that even though life is fast and frantic, we‘re not machines and we do require nourishment, physically and otherwise.
If you need to forgive someone, or have been hurt, I can't recommend this book enough. I hope that it helps you the way it helped me.
'God is in the wilderness of forgiveness with you, and He has already journeyed ahead, knowing the goodness of the land of forgiveness that lies there.'
'Trust that God will never send you to a place where you aren't meant to go, and He certainly won't ever send you alone.'
'Unlike people, He is always trustworthy and will never let you down.'
