Forgiveness hasn’t been a one-and-done decision. Some days I feel light and at peace. Other days, those old feelings show back up like uninvited guests. But here’s what I’m learning in real time about what it means to truly forgive and how God keeps meeting me in the middle of the mess.

Has God ever asked you to do something that felt absolutely impossible? God speaks something to your heart, and the first thing you do is look at your circumstances. You start listing all the reasons it won’t work: “I’m too old.” “I’m too busy.” “I tried that already.” “What will people think?” But here’s the truth: God isn’t looking for your excuses—He’s looking for your obedience.
