The Power of Letting Go—Justin and Irene Renton

Galatians 5:1–6 Jesus came to set us free from sin and burdens. One important component of freedom is letting go of the things that enslave us. Do you spend your time in love-based freedom or fear-based enslavement?

Forgiveness is a universal need. We need to give, and receive it.

How do you know if you've genuinely forgiven someone? You see the big picture, show kindness, and want what is best for the other person.

Forgiveness is not condoning the actions or behaviour of the person who hurt you. It is an intentional decision to let go of resentment and anger.

Colossians 3:13 Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Who wants partial or conditional forgiveness?

Lack of forgiveness ties you to the person emotionally, and it's exhausting.

There is a difference between forgiveness and reconciliation.
