Forgiveness is not a feeling. It's a decisive action you take, and it might be the most necessary force and source of healing for your marriage and love relationships!

In this episode of Love Letters with Jason and Ros, we take a deep dive into the concept of forgiveness. We keep this conversation real and relevant to what it looks like today for the offended and the offender!

So tune in to this episode to better understand and gain clarity on the WHAT, the WHY, and the HOW of forgiveness. It isn’t always fair, but it’s fundamental to obtaining inner healing, peace, and restoration for yourself and your marriage! ❤️‍🔥

WE COVER:

• What forgiveness truly is, and why it feels unfair
• The first mention of forgiveness in the Bible and what it teaches us about the big picture
• The repentance process: God's kindness, godly sorrow, and personal confession
• Why worldly sorrow says, "I'm sorry I got caught," and godly sorrow advances relationships, holding a deeper sentiment
• FOR. GIVE. NESS. How to do it God’s way
• Forgiving versus forgetting
• The covenant of forgiveness in marriage and why the standard is what God did, not what your spouse deserves

THIS WEEK’S “LIVE OUT YOUR LOVE LETTER" CHALLENGE:

• STEP 1 | Think of one thing you're still holding against your spouse or loved one and write it down.
• STEP 2 | Bring it to God in prayer first, and ask Him to connect you back to a moment He completely forgave you of something you didn't deserve, but extended grace anyway.
• STEP 3 | Then make the decision, not the feeling, to release it. In a safe space, tell your spouse or loved one what it is and that you've released it. "I'm not carrying it anymore."
