About this episode
There will be people who will never be able to see the pain they caused us, but nothing is hidden from God. Our pain can drop us to our knees, but it's our anchor and hope in Christ that allows us to stand again with forgiveness in our hearts. When we fix our gaze on Jesus, our pain can be met with gentleness and the tenderness it deserves.

In this episode, I walk you through what forgiveness is, what scripture has to say about forgiveness, and why forgiveness is so important to God.

Rooting for you,
Jessica
