Forgiving Day by Day: Practicing God’s Ways in Our Relationships

Forgiveness is a holy practice every Christian needs for a vital and effective spiritual life. Yet, despite all the good reasons to forgive, we still find that forgiving does not come easily. Particularly with our oldest and deepest wounds, we may believe forgiveness is impossible. We want to obey God and follow the way of Christ, but injury has drawn a line we cannot cross. Thus trapped at the edge of our obedience, we cannot step ahead with God because pain and bitterness keep our attention fixed on the past. "My abuser took something from me that I'll never get back." "I thought she was my friend. I'll never trust her again." "If I forgive him, it's like saying what he did to me didn't matter." "She doesn't deserve my forgiveness." "I'll never be whole again." Forgiving Day by Day: Practicing God's Ways in Our Relationships can help the Christian take that next step with God into a new way of life, free from resentment and the bitter pain of past injuries. This twelve-week study offers daily devotionals drawn from Scripture that explore topics related to forgiveness, relationships, and discipleship. Essays, prayers, and reflective exercises provide opportunities to learn and practice new skills and underscore the importance of cultivating a personal relationship with God. Loving and forgiving the people who hurt us are unnatural acts that require supernatural help. Take the challenge and see how God will use this study to reshape your heart and transform the way you see yourself and the people who have harmed you.
