Are you holding on to feelings of resentment or vengeance? Today’s Truth Talk is for you. For a long time, I carried the weight of pain, unwilling to let go. I thought to forgive meant to erase all that had been done. I thought forgiving meant it made it okay.  What I’ve learned is that forgiveness doesn't mean reconciliation. Reconciliation requires both parties to come together in agreement to work it out. Forgiveness takes one person. You. Your willingness to walk through healing with the Father. Scripture is clear on forgiveness. I also believe He was clear on it because He knew the separation it caused. In this episode, I discuss what forgiveness is and isn’t and review essential scriptures on why God says it’s necessary. Full show notes for this episode can be found at jessicahottle.com!
