A God Who Loves and a God Who Forgives
Donna Martin • •
What if the hardest thing to do is the most necessary for your healing? In this powerful message, Donna Martin explores the raw reality of forgiveness — what it costs us to hold on to pain, and what we gain by letting go. Whether you've been deeply hurt or struggle with resentment, this talk unpacks why forgiveness isn't just about others — it's about your own freedom. You’ll walk away with practical steps to start releasing bitterness, creating peace within, and breaking cycles that keep you stuck.
WHAT YOU CAN DO THIS WEEK
Invite God to help you see what forgiveness has looked like in your life? Who modeled forgiveness for you, and what did you learn from them? In Matthew 6:14-15, Jesus emphasizes how important it is to forgive others. How quick are you to forgive someone? What makes it difficult for you to forgive? What have you felt after forgiving someone, and how has your life changed when you forgive versus when you don’t? Next, think about how forgiveness makes us like Jesus, who gave His life to forgive us all. How have you experienced forgiveness from God? Is there something you need to confess now and receive God’s forgiveness?
