As Christmas approaches, we often prepare our homes, our gifts, and our schedulesābut God also invites us to prepare our hearts. One of the most powerful ways to do that is through forgiveness.
Why Forgiveness Matters This Season:
⨠Christmas is about grace.
Jesus came to offer us forgiveness we could never earn. Extending that same grace to others reflects His heart.
⨠Forgiveness brings freedom.
Holding onto hurt only weighs us down. Releasing it opens the door for peace, healing, and joy.
⨠It restores relationships.
Sometimes a simple step toward forgiveness can begin healing wounds that have lingered too long.
⨠It honors the meaning of Christmas.
The birth of Christ is Godās gift of reconciliation to us. Forgiving others is our way of passing that gift forward.
As we enter this special season, may we not only celebrate Christās birthābut also choose to let go, forgive, and allow His love to fill the places where hurt once lived.
Forgiveness prepares our hearts for Christmas more than anything we wrap or decorate. šā¤ļø
