Faith in Forgiveness
Do you believe in a higher power?
Regardless if you believe in God or not, we are here to help. Judgement and justice when the hurt is so bad, we get it.
I believe in God
A Barna survey found that around one in four practicing Christians (23%) has a person in their life who “they just can’t forgive." Among practicing Christians who claim there is an individual in their lives they can’t forgive, more than one-quarter (28%) admits they wish they could do so.
I don't believe in God
It is only when you become willing to explore your darkness that you will discover the light of freedom found in forgiveness. It is a gift to yourself, NOT an exchange with your offender nor is it subject to anything. This gift - is the path for giving you joy and freedom. The path of forgiving.”
