Forgiveness Isn’t A Feeling, But Rather A Decision And Posture Of The Heart.

Forgiveness isn’t a feeling, but rather a decision and posture of the heart.

Even after declaring forgiveness in prayer, you may still experience tender or awkward emotions.

This is the space for the Holy Spirit to direct your next steps. Perhaps it will be a conversation, a kind gesture, further prayer to release the memory of the offense, a period of space, or even the ending of a season without bitterness.

Do not assume that you have not forgiven because your emotions remain tender after you have decided to forgive in prayer.

Forgiveness is a deeply spiritual act, and while it can take time for your emotions to catch up, the act itself is complete.

Continue walking in love and forgiveness. The more you do, the stronger you become, and you will grow in God’s will for you in this area.
