Have you ever been hurt so deeply that the idea of forgiveness feels impossible? The kind of hurt that makes you swear never to forgive or forget? Sometimes, the mere thought of letting go stirs anger, and anyone who suggests it feels like an enemy.


The truth is, forgiveness is hard—especially when the pain comes from someone we trusted, someone close. The wounds cut deep, and moving on feels impossible.


But forgiveness is not just about the other person; it’s about freeing yourself. Matthew 6:12 reminds us:

"And forgive us our sins, just as we have forgiven those who have sinned against us."


Choosing to forgive is not an easy choice, but it’s a necessary one. When we let go of bitterness and ask God for help, we open the door to peace and healing.


Matthew 6:14 says:

"If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you."


Forgiveness is a process. It starts with a choice. Go to God and ask Him to help you let go—not because you feel like it, but because you choose to. Only then can you experience true freedom and healing.


 Take a Moment:

What’s holding you back from forgiveness today? Take a step forward—pray, reflect, and choose peace.

Love Yourself — Unapologetically.

Image
The moment you choose to be happy and start thinking of yourself too—caring about yourself—that moment, it might feel like you're being selfish. But trust me, that's not it. It's called self-love. And it's perfectly fine that you've chosen to make yourself a priority—not just making those around you happy while you ignore yourself. I remember a time when I believed putting myself first meant I was letting others down. I kept saying yes to everything, even when I felt drained. The truth? I was afraid of being seen as selfish. But eventually, I realized that constantly giving without refilling my own cup was leaving me empty. Learning to love myself unapologetically wasn't easy, but it was necessary. You are deserving of love. But first, love yourself. You are worth much more than gold. But first, be worthy in your own eyes too. You deserve the best and nothing but the best. So go ahead—put a smile on your own face. Embrace the joy you bring to others and give som...

When Touching the Basket Meant Death

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been studying the books of the Old Testament. And one thing keeps jumping at me — the level of grace we as believers under the New Covenant enjoy today. Grace freely brought to us through Jesus Christ. Just recently, we got a new offering basket for the fellowship. While washing it in readiness for Bible Study this evening (it had gathered some dust and stains from the store), my mind drifted back to those Old Testament times — when everything used in God’s temple had to be handled in a very specific way and only by certain people. In those days, if you weren’t a descendant of Aaron or a Levite, you had no right to touch anything connected to the temple. And it wasn’t just a rule — it was a matter of life and death! I remember Uzzah, who died instantly for touching the ark of the covenant when it was about to fall (2 Samuel 6:6–7) . He was trying to help, yet he died for it. But here I was — washing the fellowship’s offering basket with ordinary kitchen so...
