Letting Go and Forgiving the One Who Did You Wrong
Avoid being the captive…the prisoner by letting go and forgiving the one who did you wrong… “Forgiveness does not release the evildoer from his debt; it releases the one who forgives from his captor.” *Resource mentioned in the video: Christian Womanhood magazine https://christianwomanhood.org *Recommended Book: Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption (my referral link) But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
